Day 2, Friday 8/21: 224.8
Day 3, Saturday 8/22: 224.4
Day 4, Sunday 8/23: 224.4
Day 5, Monday 8/24: 223.8 - had an indulgent weekend and I expect it to show up on the scale later this week.

dawnbgethealthy

This will be my 3rd round.
I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 2 rounds:

My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
This last one, #4:
Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!

I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)

Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
Excess calories burned: 5,006
Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned

Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.

Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8

Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over

Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 144.4 - Slept in, so got a great number. Also peed like 100 times yesterday, so must have had some trapped fluid. 582 calories left over
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 143.2 - This number makes me motivated to continue to make weight loss my priority. My goal all year was to be into the 130s by my 60th birthday which is now in a month. I am starting to feel like I can get there even though I usually lose extremely slowly. Great way to start my day! 705 calories left over
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 143.2 - So great to see this number again. I have a long way to go still, but would be very happy if this is my new set point. 315 calories left over.
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 144.5 - Fluctuation sucks, we all know that. 988 calories left over.
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 145.2 - Ouch! Back to day 1 of this round even though I felt like I was making so much progress. I will try not to sweat it and see what happens for our final weigh-in for the week tomorrow. 2 pound gain in 2 days really sucks! 698 calories left over.

Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 163.8 (I love the week before TOM! lol)
Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 164.6 (I'm going to attribute this to week before TOM and the new heavy lifting routine I've been doing and *crossing fingers* hope it's muscle haha! I'm not going to worry too much about the numbers just yet as I've been still within my goals!)
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 164
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

10th Week Goal Weight: 162
10th Week Actual Weight: 164.6

Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 166 (Ouch, that is scary looking, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Today is my last day with my daughter and tomorrow is a new day, plus TOM is next week as well. I've still been active, but haven't been able to do my strength training. All back to normal tomorrow. We are having a great time together and that's more important to me than numbers right now!)
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 166.6 (Weigh-In Day) (+3.8 since last week) - (As awful as this looks, I'm not letting this get to me. I just dropped my daughter off at the airport and we had a wonderful time together! Today I will be back to my regular schedule and will work hard to get this off. I know what I need to do. Also this week is TOM so we'll see what happens!)
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 165.6 (Back on track with my workouts and eating schedule. Strength training yesterday was tough though.)
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 164.6 (It's weird how each day fluctuates so much, but that's just how it is!)
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 162.4 (Lol, I don't understand this at all, but whatever!)
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 161.6 (I guess all that good food I ate, while not immense was just salty?? Still so strange!)
Day 75: Sat, 8/22: 161.2

11th Week Goal Weight: 164
11th Week Actual Weight: 161.2

Day 76: Sun, 8/23: 161.2
Day 77: Mon, 8/24: 161.2 (Weigh-In Day -5.4 lbs since last week) (So glad this stuck! I lost the weight I gained plus an extra 1.6 lbs to bring me back to where I needed to be)

Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
Day 68 – 08/15 …..209.6……
Day 69 – 08/16 …..209.5……
Day 70 –08 /17 …..209.3…… I picked up my kitty’s ashes today. It was rough but she is with me again and that’s all I can cling to. Not much appetite. Yesterday was a more careful day and it showed up on the scale this morning. Trying as hard as I can, whenever I can. My situations won’t last forever.
Day 71 –08 /18 …..209.4…… A slight fluctuation. Yesterday was a bit of a low calorie day.
Day 72 – 08/19 …..209.6…… Grrr….
Day 73 – 08/20 …..209.5…… Just bouncing around in what appears to be Maintenance. A long road ahead.
Day 74 –08 /21 …..209.2…… A nice way to start the weekend!
Day 75 – 08/22 …..209.3…… Just a normal fluctuation. Things went well yesterday although I could have used a bit more exercise/movement.
Day 76 –08 /23 …..209.3…… Holding my own I suppose. Today will be a busy day so extra calorie burn is what is on the menu for me.
Day 77 –08 /24 …..209.3…… Poured the rain yesterday so not as much exercise as planned. Cooked a wonderful “diet dinner” but found myself way too hungry last night. Stuck to some lean cuisine at midnight. Low calorie but was like having a second dinner. My bigger fatter me is not like the smaller quantities I was eating before. I’ve got to re-train on portion control.

dawnbgethealthy

This will be my 3rd round.
I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 2 rounds:

My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
This last one, #4:
Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!

I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 and 11

Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)

Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
Excess calories burned: 5,006
Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over

Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great.

Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over

Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 144.4 - Slept in, so got a great number. Also peed like 100 times yesterday, so must have had some trapped fluid. 582 calories left over
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 143.2 - This number makes me motivated to continue to make weight loss my priority. My goal all year was to be into the 130s by my 60th birthday which is now in a month. I am starting to feel like I can get there even though I usually lose extremely slowly. Great way to start my day! 705 calories left over
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 143.2 - So great to see this number again. I have a long way to go still, but would be very happy if this is my new set point. 315 calories left over.
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 144.5 - Fluctuation sucks, we all know that. 988 calories left over.
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 145.2 - Ouch! Back to day 1 of this round even though I felt like I was making so much progress. I will try not to sweat it and see what happens for our final weigh-in for the week tomorrow. 2 pound gain in 2 days really sucks! 698 calories left over.

Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 164
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

10th Week Goal Weight: 162
10th Week Actual Weight: 164.6

Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 166 (Ouch, that is scary looking, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Today is my last day with my daughter and tomorrow is a new day, plus TOM is next week as well. I've still been active, but haven't been able to do my strength training. All back to normal tomorrow. We are having a great time together and that's more important to me than numbers right now!)
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 166.6 (Weigh-In Day) (+3.8 since last week) - (As awful as this looks, I'm not letting this get to me. I just dropped my daughter off at the airport and we had a wonderful time together! Today I will be back to my regular schedule and will work hard to get this off. I know what I need to do. Also this week is TOM so we'll see what happens!)
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 165.6 (Back on track with my workouts and eating schedule. Strength training yesterday was tough though.)
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 164.6 (It's weird how each day fluctuates so much, but that's just how it is!)
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 162.4 (Lol, I don't understand this at all, but whatever!)
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 161.6 (I guess all that good food I ate, while not immense was just salty?? Still so strange!)

Day 78: Tues, 8/25: 160.6 (I wasn't hungry last night after my workout and after my protein shake. I still had quite a bit to go and I struggled to make my macros. I still did fairly well, but still didn't reach them. Maybe I should eat more at lunch just in case.)

Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
Day 68 – 08/15 …..209.6……
Day 69 – 08/16 …..209.5……
Day 70 –08 /17 …..209.3…… I picked up my kitty’s ashes today. It was rough but she is with me again and that’s all I can cling to. Not much appetite. Yesterday was a more careful day and it showed up on the scale this morning. Trying as hard as I can, whenever I can. My situations won’t last forever.
Day 71 –08 /18 …..209.4…… A slight fluctuation. Yesterday was a bit of a low calorie day.
Day 72 – 08/19 …..209.6…… Grrr….
Day 73 – 08/20 …..209.5…… Just bouncing around in what appears to be Maintenance. A long road ahead.
Day 74 –08 /21 …..209.2…… A nice way to start the weekend!
Day 75 – 08/22 …..209.3…… Just a normal fluctuation. Things went well yesterday although I could have used a bit more exercise/movement.
Day 76 –08 /23 …..209.3…… Holding my own I suppose. Today will be a busy day so extra calorie burn is what is on the menu for me.
Day 77 –08 /24 …..209.3…… Poured the rain yesterday so not as much exercise as planned. Cooked a wonderful “diet dinner” but found myself way too hungry last night. Stuck to some lean cuisine at midnight. Low calorie but was like having a second dinner. My bigger fatter me is not like the smaller quantities I was eating before. I’ve got to re-train on portion control.
Day 78 – 08/25 …..210.5…… 1 ½ slices of pizza and WHAM!

dawnbgethealthy

This will be my 3rd round.
I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 2 rounds:

My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
This last one, #4:
Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!

I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 and 11

Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)

Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
Excess calories burned: 5,006
Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

Day 48: Sun, 7/26: Missed weighing. 369 excess calories left over
Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned
Day 54: Sat, 8/1: Missed the weigh-in. 204 excess calories burned
8th Week Goal Weight: 146.7

Excess calories burned: 3788 - More than a pound worth

Day 55: Sun, 8/2: Missed the weigh-in. 369 excess calories left over
Day 56: Mon, 8/3: 147.7 - Ouch, need to get right on top of that! 927 excess calories left over
Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over
Day 63: Mon, 8/10: 146.8 - Working hard to get this down. Weighed way too early in the morning today. 840 calories left over
Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 146.4 - Staying diligent, would love to see a woosh to get me back to week 8s weight - and beyond. 1050 calories left over.
Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 145.9 - Not a good way to end a very determined week of shedding weight : - ( 710 calories left over
10th Week Goal Weight: 144.8

Excess calories burned: 5,870 - Well more than a pound worth burned
Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 145.2 - Fluctuated up at the very end of last week. I seem to never get used to that! Wow, we have like only 30 days to go of the 100, like a month only! 756 calories left over in the green
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 144.4 - Slept in, so got a great number. Also peed like 100 times yesterday, so must have had some trapped fluid. 582 calories left over
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 143.2 - This number makes me motivated to continue to make weight loss my priority. My goal all year was to be into the 130s by my 60th birthday which is now in a month. I am starting to feel like I can get there even though I usually lose extremely slowly. Great way to start my day! 705 calories left over
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 143.2 - So great to see this number again. I have a long way to go still, but would be very happy if this is my new set point. 315 calories left over.
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 144.5 - Fluctuation sucks, we all know that. 988 calories left over.
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 145.2 - Ouch! Back to day 1 of this round even though I felt like I was making so much progress. I will try not to sweat it and see what happens for our final weigh-in for the week tomorrow. 2 pound gain in 2 days really sucks! 698 calories left over.
Day 75: Sat, 8/22: 144.2 - Wow, pulled it out somehow. 490 calories left over.

11th Week Goal Weight: 144.2 0.6 less than week 10 EW

8th Week Actual Weight: 162.8 (These past 2 weeks have been more aggressive and it shows. While I transition into something not so aggressive the next few weeks, we'll see what happens, but of course, I am happy and want to keep this momentum up! It's been a LOOOONG TIME since I've been in the 150s, so that's what I'm currently striving for!

Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 163.8 (I love the week before TOM! lol)
Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 164.6 (I'm going to attribute this to week before TOM and the new heavy lifting routine I've been doing and *crossing fingers* hope it's muscle haha! I'm not going to worry too much about the numbers just yet as I've been still within my goals!)
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 164
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

10th Week Goal Weight: 162
10th Week Actual Weight: 164.6
Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 166 (Ouch, that is scary looking, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Today is my last day with my daughter and tomorrow is a new day, plus TOM is next week as well. I've still been active, but haven't been able to do my strength training. All back to normal tomorrow. We are having a great time together and that's more important to me than numbers right now!)
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 166.6 (Weigh-In Day) (+3.8 since last week) - (As awful as this looks, I'm not letting this get to me. I just dropped my daughter off at the airport and we had a wonderful time together! Today I will be back to my regular schedule and will work hard to get this off. I know what I need to do. Also this week is TOM so we'll see what happens!)
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 165.6 (Back on track with my workouts and eating schedule. Strength training yesterday was tough though.)
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 164.6 (It's weird how each day fluctuates so much, but that's just how it is!)
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 162.4 (Lol, I don't understand this at all, but whatever!)
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 161.6 (I guess all that good food I ate, while not immense was just salty?? Still so strange!)
Day 75: Sat, 8/22: 161.2

11th Week Goal Weight: 164
11th Week Actual Weight: 161.2

Day 76: Sun, 8/23: 161.2
Day 77: Mon, 8/24: 161.2 (Weigh-In Day -5.4 lbs since last week) (So glad this stuck! I lost the weight I gained plus an extra 1.6 lbs to bring me back to where I needed to be)
Day 78: Tues, 8/25: 160.6 (I wasn't hungry last night after my workout and after my protein shake. I still had quite a bit to go and I struggled to make my macros. I still did fairly well, but still didn't reach them. Maybe I should eat more at lunch just in case.)

Stick with it @deepwoodslady
Small changes.

Hey, I know you are busy, but there is a cool new Fitness Marshall song, Black Pink and Lady Gaga. I have done it a few times now, it usually takes me 10 times until I have the movements down. Super fun.
If you can find 3 minutes to energize your body and speed up your metabolism.

Again, I don't get paid by them or anything, but I must say that I do like what it has done to my body, really stretches out all of my arthritic joints, puts oxygen to my brain. You know that I am hooked on it Donna : - )

It's called "Sour Candy" and it really rotates the upper rib cage which for me means creak creak lol

Day 22 – 06/30 …..207.9

Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
Day 68 – 08/15 …..209.6……
Day 69 – 08/16 …..209.5……
Day 70 –08 /17 …..209.3…… I picked up my kitty’s ashes today. It was rough but she is with me again and that’s all I can cling to. Not much appetite. Yesterday was a more careful day and it showed up on the scale this morning. Trying as hard as I can, whenever I can. My situations won’t last forever.
Day 71 –08 /18 …..209.4…… A slight fluctuation. Yesterday was a bit of a low calorie day.
Day 72 – 08/19 …..209.6…… Grrr….
Day 73 – 08/20 …..209.5…… Just bouncing around in what appears to be Maintenance. A long road ahead.
Day 74 –08 /21 …..209.2…… A nice way to start the weekend!
Day 75 – 08/22 …..209.3…… Just a normal fluctuation. Things went well yesterday although I could have used a bit more exercise/movement.
Day 76 –08 /23 …..209.3…… Holding my own I suppose. Today will be a busy day so extra calorie burn is what is on the menu for me.
Day 77 –08 /24 …..209.3…… Poured the rain yesterday so not as much exercise as planned. Cooked a wonderful “diet dinner” but found myself way too hungry last night. Stuck to some lean cuisine at midnight. Low calorie but was like having a second dinner. My bigger fatter me is not like the smaller quantities I was eating before. I’ve got to re-train on portion control.
Day 78 – 08/25 …..210.5…… 1 ½ slices of pizza and WHAM!
Day 79 - 08/26 …..210.2…..
Day 80 –08 /27 …..xxxxx……
Day 81 – 08/28 …..xxxxx……
Day 82 – 08/29…..xxxxx……

Yes, I knew that you loved dancing. It is one of my new favourites, I definitely don't have the movements for it down yet, but it is super fun.

This will be my 3rd round.
I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 2 rounds:

My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
This last one, #4:
Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!

I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 and 11

Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)

Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
Excess calories burned: 5,006
Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1

Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned

Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.

Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over

Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 145.9 - Not a good way to end a very determined week of shedding weight : - ( 710 calories left over

Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 144.4 - Slept in, so got a great number. Also peed like 100 times yesterday, so must have had some trapped fluid. 582 calories left over
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 143.2 - This number makes me motivated to continue to make weight loss my priority. My goal all year was to be into the 130s by my 60th birthday which is now in a month. I am starting to feel like I can get there even though I usually lose extremely slowly. Great way to start my day! 705 calories left over
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 143.2 - So great to see this number again. I have a long way to go still, but would be very happy if this is my new set point. 315 calories left over.
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 144.5 - Fluctuation sucks, we all know that. 988 calories left over.
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 145.2 - Ouch! Back to day 1 of this round even though I felt like I was making so much progress. I will try not to sweat it and see what happens for our final weigh-in for the week tomorrow. 2 pound gain in 2 days really sucks! 698 calories left over.

Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

10th Week Actual Weight: 164.6
Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 166 (Ouch, that is scary looking, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Today is my last day with my daughter and tomorrow is a new day, plus TOM is next week as well. I've still been active, but haven't been able to do my strength training. All back to normal tomorrow. We are having a great time together and that's more important to me than numbers right now!)
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 166.6 (Weigh-In Day) (+3.8 since last week) - (As awful as this looks, I'm not letting this get to me. I just dropped my daughter off at the airport and we had a wonderful time together! Today I will be back to my regular schedule and will work hard to get this off. I know what I need to do. Also this week is TOM so we'll see what happens!)
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 165.6 (Back on track with my workouts and eating schedule. Strength training yesterday was tough though.)

Day 78: Tues, 8/25: 160.6 (I wasn't hungry last night after my workout and after my protein shake. I still had quite a bit to go and I struggled to make my macros. I still did fairly well, but still didn't reach them. Maybe I should eat more at lunch just in case.)

Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
Day 68 – 08/15 …..209.6……
Day 69 – 08/16 …..209.5……
Day 70 –08 /17 …..209.3…… I picked up my kitty’s ashes today. It was rough but she is with me again and that’s all I can cling to. Not much appetite. Yesterday was a more careful day and it showed up on the scale this morning. Trying as hard as I can, whenever I can. My situations won’t last forever.
Day 71 –08 /18 …..209.4…… A slight fluctuation. Yesterday was a bit of a low calorie day.
Day 72 – 08/19 …..209.6…… Grrr….
Day 73 – 08/20 …..209.5…… Just bouncing around in what appears to be Maintenance. A long road ahead.
Day 74 –08 /21 …..209.2…… A nice way to start the weekend!
Day 75 – 08/22 …..209.3…… Just a normal fluctuation. Things went well yesterday although I could have used a bit more exercise/movement.
Day 76 –08 /23 …..209.3…… Holding my own I suppose. Today will be a busy day so extra calorie burn is what is on the menu for me.
Day 77 –08 /24 …..209.3…… Poured the rain yesterday so not as much exercise as planned. Cooked a wonderful “diet dinner” but found myself way too hungry last night. Stuck to some lean cuisine at midnight. Low calorie but was like having a second dinner. My bigger fatter me is not like the smaller quantities I was eating before. I’ve got to re-train on portion control.
Day 78 – 08/25 …..210.5…… 1 ½ slices of pizza and WHAM!
Day 79 - 08/26 …..210.2…..
Day 80 –08 /27 …..210.2 …… no change. Out of town today. Tomorrow the scale will probably be up.

Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 163.8 (I love the week before TOM! lol)
Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 164.6 (I'm going to attribute this to week before TOM and the new heavy lifting routine I've been doing and *crossing fingers* hope it's muscle haha! I'm not going to worry too much about the numbers just yet as I've been still within my goals!)
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 164
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

10th Week Goal Weight: 162
10th Week Actual Weight: 164.6
Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 166 (Ouch, that is scary looking, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Today is my last day with my daughter and tomorrow is a new day, plus TOM is next week as well. I've still been active, but haven't been able to do my strength training. All back to normal tomorrow. We are having a great time together and that's more important to me than numbers right now!)
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 166.6 (Weigh-In Day) (+3.8 since last week) - (As awful as this looks, I'm not letting this get to me. I just dropped my daughter off at the airport and we had a wonderful time together! Today I will be back to my regular schedule and will work hard to get this off. I know what I need to do. Also this week is TOM so we'll see what happens!)
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 165.6 (Back on track with my workouts and eating schedule. Strength training yesterday was tough though.)
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 164.6 (It's weird how each day fluctuates so much, but that's just how it is!)
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 162.4 (Lol, I don't understand this at all, but whatever!)
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 161.6 (I guess all that good food I ate, while not immense was just salty?? Still so strange!)
Day 75: Sat, 8/22: 161.2

11th Week Goal Weight: 164
11th Week Actual Weight: 161.2

Day 76: Sun, 8/23: 161.2
Day 77: Mon, 8/24: 161.2 (Weigh-In Day -5.4 lbs since last week) (So glad this stuck! I lost the weight I gained plus an extra 1.6 lbs to bring me back to where I needed to be)
Day 78: Tues, 8/25: 160.6 (I wasn't hungry last night after my workout and after my protein shake. I still had quite a bit to go and I struggled to make my macros. I still did fairly well, but still didn't reach them. Maybe I should eat more at lunch just in case.)
Day 79: Wed, 8/26: 160.2
Day 80: Thurs, 8/27: 160.4
Day 81: Fri, 8/28: 159.8 (I haven't seen the 150s in 4 years. I'm not going to be TOO happy yet, since weight fluctuates daily, but it's still so nice to see!)
Day 82: Sat, 8/29:

12th Week Goal Weight: 160
12th Week Actual Weight:

dawnbgethealthy

This will be my 3rd round.
I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 2 rounds:

My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
This last one, #4:
Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!

I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 and 11

Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)

Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
Excess calories burned: 5,006
Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1

Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned

Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over

Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over

Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 145.2 - Fluctuated up at the very end of last week. I seem to never get used to that! Wow, we have like only 30 days to go of the 100, like a month only! 756 calories left over in the green
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 144.4 - Slept in, so got a great number. Also peed like 100 times yesterday, so must have had some trapped fluid. 582 calories left over
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 143.2 - This number makes me motivated to continue to make weight loss my priority. My goal all year was to be into the 130s by my 60th birthday which is now in a month. I am starting to feel like I can get there even though I usually lose extremely slowly. Great way to start my day! 705 calories left over
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 143.2 - So great to see this number again. I have a long way to go still, but would be very happy if this is my new set point. 315 calories left over.
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 144.5 - Fluctuation sucks, we all know that. 988 calories left over.
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 145.2 - Ouch! Back to day 1 of this round even though I felt like I was making so much progress. I will try not to sweat it and see what happens for our final weigh-in for the week tomorrow. 2 pound gain in 2 days really sucks! 698 calories left over.

Day 79: Wed, 8/26: 144.6 - Hanging tough, I am working very hard at this, trying to create a deficit each day. My goal weight for this week looks awfully far away. 315 calories left over.

Day 81: Fri, 8/28: 145.1 - Going to roll with it like a fluctuation, I was on point for everything yesterday. Way up from the start of this "week".

I will look forward to seeing how you liked it : - )
I did it twice yesterday (and a few new others twice) as I am trying to learn them.
The song is really growing on me.

Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
Day 68 – 08/15 …..209.6……
Day 69 – 08/16 …..209.5……
Day 70 –08 /17 …..209.3…… I picked up my kitty’s ashes today. It was rough but she is with me again and that’s all I can cling to. Not much appetite. Yesterday was a more careful day and it showed up on the scale this morning. Trying as hard as I can, whenever I can. My situations won’t last forever.
Day 71 –08 /18 …..209.4…… A slight fluctuation. Yesterday was a bit of a low calorie day.
Day 72 – 08/19 …..209.6…… Grrr….
Day 73 – 08/20 …..209.5…… Just bouncing around in what appears to be Maintenance. A long road ahead.
Day 74 –08 /21 …..209.2…… A nice way to start the weekend!
Day 75 – 08/22 …..209.3…… Just a normal fluctuation. Things went well yesterday although I could have used a bit more exercise/movement.
Day 76 –08 /23 …..209.3…… Holding my own I suppose. Today will be a busy day so extra calorie burn is what is on the menu for me.
Day 77 –08 /24 …..209.3…… Poured the rain yesterday so not as much exercise as planned. Cooked a wonderful “diet dinner” but found myself way too hungry last night. Stuck to some lean cuisine at midnight. Low calorie but was like having a second dinner. My bigger fatter me is not like the smaller quantities I was eating before. I’ve got to re-train on portion control.
Day 78 – 08/25 …..210.5…… 1 ½ slices of pizza and WHAM!
Day 79 - 08/26 …..210.2…..
Day 80 –08 /27 …..210.2 …… no change. Out of town today. Tomorrow the scale will probably be up.
Day 81 – 08/28 …..210.7…… After travel. Ugg!

This will be my 3rd round.
I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 2 rounds:

My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
This last one, #4:
Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!

I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)

Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5

Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
Excess calories burned: 5,006
Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over

Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned

Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.

Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over

Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 145.9 - Not a good way to end a very determined week of shedding weight : - ( 710 calories left over

Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 144.4 - Slept in, so got a great number. Also peed like 100 times yesterday, so must have had some trapped fluid. 582 calories left over
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 143.2 - This number makes me motivated to continue to make weight loss my priority. My goal all year was to be into the 130s by my 60th birthday which is now in a month. I am starting to feel like I can get there even though I usually lose extremely slowly. Great way to start my day! 705 calories left over
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 143.2 - So great to see this number again. I have a long way to go still, but would be very happy if this is my new set point. 315 calories left over.
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 144.5 - Fluctuation sucks, we all know that. 988 calories left over.
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 145.2 - Ouch! Back to day 1 of this round even though I felt like I was making so much progress. I will try not to sweat it and see what happens for our final weigh-in for the week tomorrow. 2 pound gain in 2 days really sucks! 698 calories left over.

Day 81: Fri, 8/28: 145.1 - Going to roll with it like a fluctuation, I was on point for everything yesterday. Way up from the start of this "week". 400 calories left over.
Day 82: Sat, 8/29: 144.1 - I gained 0.2 total for this week, which I suppose could have been worse if I didn't pull it out on the last day. This might be the first week wherein I haven't burned enough calories on top of the regular to lose a pound. I really can't lose anything if I don't.

Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
Day 68 – 08/15 …..209.6……
Day 69 – 08/16 …..209.5……
Day 70 –08 /17 …..209.3…… I picked up my kitty’s ashes today. It was rough but she is with me again and that’s all I can cling to. Not much appetite. Yesterday was a more careful day and it showed up on the scale this morning. Trying as hard as I can, whenever I can. My situations won’t last forever.
Day 71 –08 /18 …..209.4…… A slight fluctuation. Yesterday was a bit of a low calorie day.
Day 72 – 08/19 …..209.6…… Grrr….
Day 73 – 08/20 …..209.5…… Just bouncing around in what appears to be Maintenance. A long road ahead.
Day 74 –08 /21 …..209.2…… A nice way to start the weekend!
Day 75 – 08/22 …..209.3…… Just a normal fluctuation. Things went well yesterday although I could have used a bit more exercise/movement.
Day 76 –08 /23 …..209.3…… Holding my own I suppose. Today will be a busy day so extra calorie burn is what is on the menu for me.
Day 77 –08 /24 …..209.3…… Poured the rain yesterday so not as much exercise as planned. Cooked a wonderful “diet dinner” but found myself way too hungry last night. Stuck to some lean cuisine at midnight. Low calorie but was like having a second dinner. My bigger fatter me is not like the smaller quantities I was eating before. I’ve got to re-train on portion control.
Day 78 – 08/25 …..210.5…… 1 ½ slices of pizza and WHAM!
Day 79 - 08/26 …..210.2…..
Day 80 –08 /27 …..210.2 …… no change. Out of town today. Tomorrow the scale will probably be up.
Day 81 – 08/28 …..210.7…… After travel. Ugg!
Day 82 – 08/29…..211.4…… Still creeping up from travel because yesterday was actually a pretty good day. However, I did not get to the fitness marshall video yet. Will try to aim for it again today. Weekends are tough to try to have a few private moments here at the motel. Phones galore and someone always at the desk interrupting everything from exercise, to meals, even potty. I’m a one-man show since my hubby passed away. We shall see how today goes.

8th Week Actual Weight: 162.8 (These past 2 weeks have been more aggressive and it shows. While I transition into something not so aggressive the next few weeks, we'll see what happens, but of course, I am happy and want to keep this momentum up! It's been a LOOOONG TIME since I've been in the 150s, so that's what I'm currently striving for!

Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 163.8 (I love the week before TOM! lol)
Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 164.6 (I'm going to attribute this to week before TOM and the new heavy lifting routine I've been doing and *crossing fingers* hope it's muscle haha! I'm not going to worry too much about the numbers just yet as I've been still within my goals!)
Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 164
Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

10th Week Goal Weight: 162
10th Week Actual Weight: 164.6

Day 69: Sun, 8/16: 166 (Ouch, that is scary looking, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Today is my last day with my daughter and tomorrow is a new day, plus TOM is next week as well. I've still been active, but haven't been able to do my strength training. All back to normal tomorrow. We are having a great time together and that's more important to me than numbers right now!)
Day 70: Mon, 8/17: 166.6 (Weigh-In Day) (+3.8 since last week) - (As awful as this looks, I'm not letting this get to me. I just dropped my daughter off at the airport and we had a wonderful time together! Today I will be back to my regular schedule and will work hard to get this off. I know what I need to do. Also this week is TOM so we'll see what happens!)
Day 71: Tues, 8/18: 165.6 (Back on track with my workouts and eating schedule. Strength training yesterday was tough though.)
Day 72: Wed, 8/19: 164.6 (It's weird how each day fluctuates so much, but that's just how it is!)
Day 73: Thurs, 8/20: 162.4 (Lol, I don't understand this at all, but whatever!)
Day 74: Fri, 8/21: 161.6 (I guess all that good food I ate, while not immense was just salty?? Still so strange!)
Day 75: Sat, 8/22: 161.2

11th Week Goal Weight: 164
11th Week Actual Weight: 161.2

Day 76: Sun, 8/23: 161.2
Day 77: Mon, 8/24: 161.2 (Weigh-In Day -5.4 lbs since last week) (So glad this stuck! I lost the weight I gained plus an extra 1.6 lbs to bring me back to where I needed to be)
Day 78: Tues, 8/25: 160.6 (I wasn't hungry last night after my workout and after my protein shake. I still had quite a bit to go and I struggled to make my macros. I still did fairly well, but still didn't reach them. Maybe I should eat more at lunch just in case.)
Day 79: Wed, 8/26: 160.2
Day 80: Thurs, 8/27: 160.4
Day 81: Fri, 8/28: 159.8 (I haven't seen the 150s in 4 years. I'm not going to be TOO happy yet, since weight fluctuates daily, but it's still so nice to see!)
Day 82: Sat, 8/29: 160.2

12th Week Goal Weight: 160
12th Week Actual Weight: 160.2 (I'm happy with this! Gotta keep it up!)
