My name is Dawn. 60 year old female
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 28.18 - SW 191
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115
My previous 3 rounds:
The 1st one:
Nov 22.19 ending February 29.20 – Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7
The 2nd one:
March 01 - June 08.20 Start weight 154.4 EW 151.7 Total loss over 100 days 2.7 pounds
The 3rd one:
June 09 - September 16th Start weight 151.2 EW 142.3 Total loss over 100 days 8.9 pounds

I started tracking my excess calories each day last round, those in the Green at the end of the tracking day. My results (based on 1200 calories per day) from 100 days were 78,627 - which over 100 days should lead to 7.86 pound loss, and I actually lost 8.9, so pretty good.

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
STARTING WEIGHT: 211.3
Day 01 – 09/17 ….210.8…..Very Pleased. This is a nice way to start! Good luck everyone!
Day 02 – 09/18 ....210.6….. Happy Dance!
Day 03 – 09/19 ….211.2….. canned soup with crackers. Too much sodium but had no time to cook yesterday.
Day 04 – 09/20 ….210.8….. Better!
Day 05 - 09/21 …..211.0….. not a bad little increase after movie night with son and some pizza.
Day 06 – 09/22 …..210.8….. Traveled today so tomorrow will be pitiful. Going to get very diligent to knock it back into the atmosphere. No extra fat allowed to hang around here. Time to go!
Day 07 – 09/23 …..212.0….. After travel. I will work on this today.
Day 08 – 09/24 …..210.8….. Traveled again but kept it to one meal and a small snack and I was rewarded!
Day 09 – 09/25 …..211.6….. I hate gaining when there is no apparent reason why. Yesterday was a pretty good day. However, there was not much movement due to all the special meetings I had. So today I will focus on more movement and cautiously go to the grocery store for more water (which is a little scary on a Friday in this small tourist town). Hydration may be key today. Flush, flush, flush.
Day 10 – 09/26 …..211.4…..
Day 11 – 09/27 …..211.2….. I am not getting where I want to be in a very healthy way. Even with the scale going down I am not super happy. I know I avoided meals yesterday and just ate too much junk. It may have been lower calories overall and it may have caused a decrease on the scale but it is all about healthy and sustainable. I vow to have a better day today. One day at a time, right?
Day 12 – 09/28 …..209.8…..Yay!!! Better meals, a bit better movement. I just gotta watch those bad snacks!
Day 13 – 09/29 …..210.0….. Just a simple fluctuation. I had a very well-balanced day yesterday. Low cal for sure.
Day 14 – 09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday with leftovers today. Still down a tad from the start.
Weight Loss in September……………….. 0.3 lb LOSS
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..0.3 Loss
Day 15 – 10/01 …..211.0…..I finished the last of the Chinese food. Now time for healthier and less sodium!
Day 16 – 10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday and tried to keep the calories low (AS THEY SHOULD BE) . I hope today will be another good day!
Day 17 - 10/03 …..210.4….. I salted my low sodium veggie soup because it tasted sweet and then I cheated with some dessert when I could have just had the soup and called IT dessert! Lesson learned. However, I am still down 1.6 in the last 10 days which is better than I’ve done in awhile so I will try to keep up the momentum. I am hydrating a lot today to offset any bloat.
Day 18 – 10/04 …..210.0….. Going back down, even with challenges. #nevergiveup
Day 19 – 10/05 …..211.6….. I ate healthy yesterday but dinner was not until 11:00 pm (busy day). Lots of steps also so this is a shock! No TMI this morning so that doesn’t help. Very disappointing but not disrupting. Staying on track today.
Day 20 – 10/06 …..209.4….. Whoosh!
Day 21 – 10/07 …..209.6….. A good day yesterday so this is likely a normal fluctuation.
Day 22 – 10/08 …..209.8….. Another good day. The slight fluctuation must be from no TMI (potty) x 2 days. Otherwise, all is well. Good choices are being made. Not too much movement due to a pretty yucky foot injury but otherwise, all is well.
Day 23 – 10/09 …..209.6…..Slightly better but my snacks were cheats last night. Working to stop the midnight madness!
Day 24 – 10/10 …..210.0…..Fish fry last night. Today I will be extra careful. I am going to go look at Dawn’s videos right now. Pretty exited!
Day 25 – 10/11 …..209.2….. Yay!
Day 26 – 10/12 …..208.6….. Artificially low? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Day 27 – 10/13 …..208.6….. I see I posted my stats yesterday on the wrong challenge. I guess I was just excited! I traveled today so I am afraid of tomorrow’s numbers, but I will try to stay positive and tackle whatever mean ol’ number that scale may bring.
Day 28 – 10/14 …..209.2….. I’m actually quite pleased with this. Sometimes carbs pack on 2-3 pounds from one travel meal! As a diabetic, I always eat when traveling. I am sure I will always choose those lovely foods not available in my little home town. However, changing habits in some way IS good so I am trying to resign myself to smaller portions. Also a lighter calorie/carb day the day after. No need to keep the extra ounces (on my hips) right?
Day 29 – 10/15 …..208.4….. God is Good and He has always had my back. Today is the first step in some life-changing things I have been working on. It puts me one step closer to where I need to be in my personal and professional life. I hope everyone will smile with (and for) me today. As far as my weight goes, I am not counting every carb and calorie again, just yet, but I am tweaking and making some important changes on this particular path of my journey. When all my resolutions are here, I will be able to focus again. It will be before Christmas I hope. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Down almost a whole pound overnight and a bit lower than my pre-travel weight! I am estatic!
Day 30 – 10/16 …..208.2….. I’ll take it!
Day 31 – 10/17 …..207.6….. I am trying to make a better difference everyday in my diet, movement and attitude. I’m not 100% yet, some personal things continue to hold me back in time and energy, but I’m on my way!
Day 32 – 10/18 …..208.2….. I was very careful and got in some extra movement. I did have garlic bread (2 slices) so I guess I deserve this. I am still carefully watching portions (otherwise).
Day 33 – 10/19 …..207.4….. I enjoyed a new Deep Dish Pizza place in my little rural town. It was very good. I ate ½ of what I would normally eat and saved the rest for my dinner. No snacks at TV time to make up for the carbs/calories. It really helped and my weight has moved down! I will make today a great day!
Day 34 – 10/20 …..207.0…..I made a few bad choices but stopped temptation in it’s tracks and made the actual decision to make better one’s for the rest of the day. So glad I did!
Day 35 – 10/21 …..206.2….. I’m actually patting myself on the back today. So proud I have continued my changes. Yesterday I danced to one song on my Alexa and I did one Fitness Marshall (Sour Candy) with Lady Gaga. It felt like a 20 minute workout so I am out of shape but it was fun. I always love watching him!
Day 36 – 10/22 …..207.6…..Well that Sux! I guess grilled cheese & tomato soup is off the menu in the near future! Having chili-dogs at a local bar/restaurant today with a friend. I will have to work my whole dietary day around the pre-planned lunch. I need more movement and water today too.
Day 37 – 10/23 …..206.8….. I could have done without the French silk pie, or could I? Still trending down so I must be diligent!
Day 38 – 10/24 …..207.8….. Lucky Charms for dinner is a no-no.
Day 39 – 10/25 …..208.2…..A horrid day of grab & go eating. In fact it has been that way for the past few days. I MUST find time to cook but its pretty hard to do when most of my time lately has been away from home on projects. Tomorrow I travel far & wide to pick up my car from transmission shop downstate. I won’t be home until late evening. More weight!
Day 40 – 10/26 …..208.2….. Feeling like a loser right now without losing.
Day 41 – 10/27 …..210.4….. After travel weight. Fall is trying to get to me again with the pre-snow (bad roads) travel rush and with the warm & toasty comfort food. Too cold to walk and all that jazz. Knowledge is power! Today will be a good day.
Day 42 – 10/28 …..209.2….. Working it back down again. Cha-Cha!
Day 43 – 10/29 …..207.9….. I don’t think I entirely deserve the nice drop on the scale but I’m grateful. Skipped breakfast with a fast, very low cal lunch. We won’t talk about the rest.
Day 44 – 10/30 …..208.4….. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate a tremendously large meal before going back to sleep. I was starving! Very unusual. Early morning weigh-in afterward.
Day 45 – 10/31 …..208.4…..
Weight Loss in October……………….. 2.6 lbs Lost
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.9 lbs LOST so far Total
Day 46 – 11/01 …..207.4….. Even after sneaking some Haloween Candy so I am very happy with this. A very light dinner helped.
Day 47 – 11/02 …..208.6….. I ate 3 meals yesterday. They were pretty healthy but I usually only eat two and a snack at night with TV so I know it was higher calories than typical.
Day 48 – 11/03 …..207.6….. What a roller-coaster ride this is!
Day 49 – 11/04 …..?????….. I actually forgot to weigh today before the coffee. Yesterday was an above-average day so the scale would probably have smiled a little bit on me.
Day 50 – 11/05 …..206.6….. At the halfway mark in the challenge and feeling very happy with my progress. Will this 206 hold? Stay tuned.
******************************HALFWAY MARK**************************
Day 51 – 11/06 …..205.2….. Yay! I’m going to keep this train going and plan my meals carefully today!
Day 52 – 11/07 …..205.2.….. Blood sugar drop last night really did me in. I tried to be more in control of the situation but it still requires sugar and carbs to fix very quickly. I managed to bring it back up without being totally ridiculous. Thankful for that. I will plan more carefully today and avoid that situation tonight, I hope.
Day 53 – 11/08 ……206.0…..Must have been hidden high sodium. My menu wasn’t bad yesterday and my movement was increased.
Day 54 – 11/09 ….206.2….. More salty food. Today is a very big day in my life. I will have little control of anything but I will do my best.
Day 55 – 11/10 …..207.0….. Pizza & icecream during a celebration. Kicking my own butt today.
Day 56 – 11/11 …..207.4….. Reading my posts from various challenges, I think I’ve found a pattern of self-destruction. Every time I have a glucose drop (very scary) I end up eating high carb or sugary things at night which I believe sub-consciensly (spelled wrong) caused me to eat wrong and too much at night to avoid an episode. I am going to work around this but it won’t be easy. That survival instinct we have as humans is very strong and hard to manipulate.

Need to care for myself as I care for others. Time to regroup on my better habits.
Day 48: Tues, 11/3: 217.7 Walked 5 miles, 1095 cal, 22 net carbs, AF. NOT one snack today. DH is on board to refocus with me. Recovered from the weekend splurges.

Terrible to have those blood sugar drops, and scary indeed.
In Canada we have things that my diabetic friends and family use. I am not sure if you have them in the US. One is is a premade drink named Glucerna I think, one is a gel (my brother keeps on hand). There are some chew-able tablets also.
Some people just drink 1/2 a cup of orange juice and wait 10 minutes, another friend of mine drinks Coca Cola.
They are quick to the blood stream, while food is very slow to the blood stream.
Some foods (chocolate, ice cream) actually slow the process because the fat content stops the glucose from reaching your blood?
I am wondering if having drinks on hand would be an option for you.
I definitely don't mean to offend. It is a real science.
I get worried when you have an episode!
I looked up this website which talks about good candies, fruits, and beverages to have on hand and the amounts needed to regulate blood sugar.

@dawnbgethealthy
Don't worry about being offensive. I actually appreciate all the advice. Most of the work has to be done within myself. It really is that terrified instinct to survive which will begin an eating frenzy until you feel the sugar raising back up within yourself. In reality it just takes only so much to get it improving, and usually within 20 minutes all is well. However, at the scariest moments within that 20 minutes you just want to shovel it in like coal in a stove for the ENTIRE 20 MINUTES until you feel the change and, of course, that isn't necessary. But at the time, it is still raging so high and survival mode kicks in. Sometimes I am okay through it because the drop is slow and gradual so it is easier to trust the process. Othertimes it is swim or sink and my body always choses to swim.
The best thing I can do is to keep my meals healthy and level and prevent the drops in the first place. Most days I do that well. I do appreciate all the concern and the tips. I am willing to try just about anything including losing this weight which also helps in the fight against diabetes.1 -

STARTING WEIGHT: 211.3
Day 01 – 09/17 ….210.8…..Very Pleased. This is a nice way to start! Good luck everyone!
Day 02 – 09/18 ....210.6….. Happy Dance!
Day 03 – 09/19 ….211.2….. canned soup with crackers. Too much sodium but had no time to cook yesterday.
Day 04 – 09/20 ….210.8….. Better!
Day 05 - 09/21 …..211.0….. not a bad little increase after movie night with son and some pizza.
Day 06 – 09/22 …..210.8….. Traveled today so tomorrow will be pitiful. Going to get very diligent to knock it back into the atmosphere. No extra fat allowed to hang around here. Time to go!
Day 07 – 09/23 …..212.0….. After travel. I will work on this today.
Day 08 – 09/24 …..210.8….. Traveled again but kept it to one meal and a small snack and I was rewarded!
Day 09 – 09/25 …..211.6….. I hate gaining when there is no apparent reason why. Yesterday was a pretty good day. However, there was not much movement due to all the special meetings I had. So today I will focus on more movement and cautiously go to the grocery store for more water (which is a little scary on a Friday in this small tourist town). Hydration may be key today. Flush, flush, flush.
Day 10 – 09/26 …..211.4…..
Day 11 – 09/27 …..211.2….. I am not getting where I want to be in a very healthy way. Even with the scale going down I am not super happy. I know I avoided meals yesterday and just ate too much junk. It may have been lower calories overall and it may have caused a decrease on the scale but it is all about healthy and sustainable. I vow to have a better day today. One day at a time, right?
Day 12 – 09/28 …..209.8…..Yay!!! Better meals, a bit better movement. I just gotta watch those bad snacks!
Day 13 – 09/29 …..210.0….. Just a simple fluctuation. I had a very well-balanced day yesterday. Low cal for sure.
Day 14 – 09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday with leftovers today. Still down a tad from the start.
Weight Loss in September……………….. 0.3 lb LOSS
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..0.3 Loss
Day 15 – 10/01 …..211.0…..I finished the last of the Chinese food. Now time for healthier and less sodium!
Day 16 – 10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday and tried to keep the calories low (AS THEY SHOULD BE) . I hope today will be another good day!
Day 17 - 10/03 …..210.4….. I salted my low sodium veggie soup because it tasted sweet and then I cheated with some dessert when I could have just had the soup and called IT dessert! Lesson learned. However, I am still down 1.6 in the last 10 days which is better than I’ve done in awhile so I will try to keep up the momentum. I am hydrating a lot today to offset any bloat.
Day 18 – 10/04 …..210.0….. Going back down, even with challenges. #nevergiveup
Day 19 – 10/05 …..211.6….. I ate healthy yesterday but dinner was not until 11:00 pm (busy day). Lots of steps also so this is a shock! No TMI this morning so that doesn’t help. Very disappointing but not disrupting. Staying on track today.
Day 20 – 10/06 …..209.4….. Whoosh!
Day 21 – 10/07 …..209.6….. A good day yesterday so this is likely a normal fluctuation.
Day 22 – 10/08 …..209.8….. Another good day. The slight fluctuation must be from no TMI (potty) x 2 days. Otherwise, all is well. Good choices are being made. Not too much movement due to a pretty yucky foot injury but otherwise, all is well.
Day 23 – 10/09 …..209.6…..Slightly better but my snacks were cheats last night. Working to stop the midnight madness!
Day 24 – 10/10 …..210.0…..Fish fry last night. Today I will be extra careful. I am going to go look at Dawn’s videos right now. Pretty exited!
Day 25 – 10/11 …..209.2….. Yay!
Day 26 – 10/12 …..208.6….. Artificially low? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Day 27 – 10/13 …..208.6….. I see I posted my stats yesterday on the wrong challenge. I guess I was just excited! I traveled today so I am afraid of tomorrow’s numbers, but I will try to stay positive and tackle whatever mean ol’ number that scale may bring.
Day 28 – 10/14 …..209.2….. I’m actually quite pleased with this. Sometimes carbs pack on 2-3 pounds from one travel meal! As a diabetic, I always eat when traveling. I am sure I will always choose those lovely foods not available in my little home town. However, changing habits in some way IS good so I am trying to resign myself to smaller portions. Also a lighter calorie/carb day the day after. No need to keep the extra ounces (on my hips) right?
Day 29 – 10/15 …..208.4….. God is Good and He has always had my back. Today is the first step in some life-changing things I have been working on. It puts me one step closer to where I need to be in my personal and professional life. I hope everyone will smile with (and for) me today. As far as my weight goes, I am not counting every carb and calorie again, just yet, but I am tweaking and making some important changes on this particular path of my journey. When all my resolutions are here, I will be able to focus again. It will be before Christmas I hope. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Down almost a whole pound overnight and a bit lower than my pre-travel weight! I am estatic!
Day 30 – 10/16 …..208.2….. I’ll take it!
Day 31 – 10/17 …..207.6….. I am trying to make a better difference everyday in my diet, movement and attitude. I’m not 100% yet, some personal things continue to hold me back in time and energy, but I’m on my way!
Day 32 – 10/18 …..208.2….. I was very careful and got in some extra movement. I did have garlic bread (2 slices) so I guess I deserve this. I am still carefully watching portions (otherwise).
Day 33 – 10/19 …..207.4….. I enjoyed a new Deep Dish Pizza place in my little rural town. It was very good. I ate ½ of what I would normally eat and saved the rest for my dinner. No snacks at TV time to make up for the carbs/calories. It really helped and my weight has moved down! I will make today a great day!
Day 34 – 10/20 …..207.0…..I made a few bad choices but stopped temptation in it’s tracks and made the actual decision to make better one’s for the rest of the day. So glad I did!
Day 35 – 10/21 …..206.2….. I’m actually patting myself on the back today. So proud I have continued my changes. Yesterday I danced to one song on my Alexa and I did one Fitness Marshall (Sour Candy) with Lady Gaga. It felt like a 20 minute workout so I am out of shape but it was fun. I always love watching him!
Day 36 – 10/22 …..207.6…..Well that Sux! I guess grilled cheese & tomato soup is off the menu in the near future! Having chili-dogs at a local bar/restaurant today with a friend. I will have to work my whole dietary day around the pre-planned lunch. I need more movement and water today too.
Day 37 – 10/23 …..206.8….. I could have done without the French silk pie, or could I? Still trending down so I must be diligent!
Day 38 – 10/24 …..207.8….. Lucky Charms for dinner is a no-no.
Day 39 – 10/25 …..208.2…..A horrid day of grab & go eating. In fact it has been that way for the past few days. I MUST find time to cook but its pretty hard to do when most of my time lately has been away from home on projects. Tomorrow I travel far & wide to pick up my car from transmission shop downstate. I won’t be home until late evening. More weight!
Day 40 – 10/26 …..208.2….. Feeling like a loser right now without losing.
Day 41 – 10/27 …..210.4….. After travel weight. Fall is trying to get to me again with the pre-snow (bad roads) travel rush and with the warm & toasty comfort food. Too cold to walk and all that jazz. Knowledge is power! Today will be a good day.
Day 42 – 10/28 …..209.2….. Working it back down again. Cha-Cha!
Day 43 – 10/29 …..207.9….. I don’t think I entirely deserve the nice drop on the scale but I’m grateful. Skipped breakfast with a fast, very low cal lunch. We won’t talk about the rest.
Day 44 – 10/30 …..208.4….. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate a tremendously large meal before going back to sleep. I was starving! Very unusual. Early morning weigh-in afterward.
Day 45 – 10/31 …..208.4…..
Weight Loss in October……………….. 2.6 lbs Lost
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.9 lbs LOST so far Total
Day 46 – 11/01 …..207.4….. Even after sneaking some Haloween Candy so I am very happy with this. A very light dinner helped.
Day 47 – 11/02 …..208.6….. I ate 3 meals yesterday. They were pretty healthy but I usually only eat two and a snack at night with TV so I know it was higher calories than typical.
Day 48 – 11/03 …..207.6….. What a roller-coaster ride this is!
Day 49 – 11/04 …..?????….. I actually forgot to weigh today before the coffee. Yesterday was an above-average day so the scale would probably have smiled a little bit on me.
Day 50 – 11/05 …..206.6….. At the halfway mark in the challenge and feeling very happy with my progress. Will this 206 hold? Stay tuned.
******************************HALFWAY MARK**************************
Day 51 – 11/06 …..205.2….. Yay! I’m going to keep this train going and plan my meals carefully today!
Day 52 – 11/07 …..205.2.….. Blood sugar drop last night really did me in. I tried to be more in control of the situation but it still requires sugar and carbs to fix very quickly. I managed to bring it back up without being totally ridiculous. Thankful for that. I will plan more carefully today and avoid that situation tonight, I hope.
Day 53 – 11/08 ……206.0…..Must have been hidden high sodium. My menu wasn’t bad yesterday and my movement was increased.
Day 54 – 11/09 ….206.2….. More salty food. Today is a very big day in my life. I will have little control of anything but I will do my best.
Day 55 – 11/10 …..207.0….. Pizza & icecream during a celebration. Kicking my own butt today.
Day 56 – 11/11 …..207.4….. Reading my posts from various challenges, I think I’ve found a pattern of self-destruction. Every time I have a glucose drop (very scary) I end up eating high carb or sugary things at night which I believe sub-consciensly (spelled wrong) caused me to eat wrong and too much at night to avoid an episode. I am going to work around this but it won’t be easy. That survival instinct we have as humans is very strong and hard to manipulate.

Lots of new kids moved into our small neighborhood during this pandemic. Planning to hand out something I personally don’t eat … fruit rollups!
7th Week Goal Weight: 217.x Need to break through and continue my journey.

She called as we were 1/2 way to Austin so rearranging the rest of the week. Then I found out one of our dear neighbors died from a bad reaction to chemo treatment this weekend when I got back home from Austin.
Need to care for myself as I care for others. Time to regroup on my better habits.

@Lilylady3k
Good on you for continuing to be able to track and lose weight with all that you have been going through.
You are doing great!0 -
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. 60 year old female
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 28.18 - SW 191
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

Day 58: Fri, 11/13: 138.5 - Lowest so far : - ) Squeezing in extra calorie burns this week so far, I don't always have the time, but my results are always better if I can do it.

Don't worry about being offensive. I actually appreciate all the advice. Most of the work has to be done within myself. It really is that terrified instinct to survive which will begin an eating frenzy until you feel the sugar raising back up within yourself. In reality it just takes only so much to get it improving, and usually within 20 minutes all is well. However, at the scariest moments within that 20 minutes you just want to shovel it in like coal in a stove for the ENTIRE 20 MINUTES until you feel the change and, of course, that isn't necessary. But at the time, it is still raging so high and survival mode kicks in. Sometimes I am okay through it because the drop is slow and gradual so it is easier to trust the process. Othertimes it is swim or sink and my body always choses to swim.
The best thing I can do is to keep my meals healthy and level and prevent the drops in the first place. Most days I do that well. I do appreciate all the concern and the tips. I am willing to try just about anything including losing this weight which also helps in the fight against diabetes.
Good, glad that you are not offended. The idea of keeping something on hand (like the gel) could be good. Works faster than food, and is designed exactly for the purpose.
I am sorry that you are having to battle this.0 -

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (Date) through (Date)
My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
STARTING WEIGHT: 211.3
Day 01 – 09/17 ….210.8…..Very Pleased. This is a nice way to start! Good luck everyone!
Day 02 – 09/18 ....210.6….. Happy Dance!
Day 03 – 09/19 ….211.2….. canned soup with crackers. Too much sodium but had no time to cook yesterday.
Day 04 – 09/20 ….210.8….. Better!
Day 05 - 09/21 …..211.0….. not a bad little increase after movie night with son and some pizza.
Day 06 – 09/22 …..210.8….. Traveled today so tomorrow will be pitiful. Going to get very diligent to knock it back into the atmosphere. No extra fat allowed to hang around here. Time to go!
Day 07 – 09/23 …..212.0….. After travel. I will work on this today.
Day 08 – 09/24 …..210.8….. Traveled again but kept it to one meal and a small snack and I was rewarded!
Day 09 – 09/25 …..211.6….. I hate gaining when there is no apparent reason why. Yesterday was a pretty good day. However, there was not much movement due to all the special meetings I had. So today I will focus on more movement and cautiously go to the grocery store for more water (which is a little scary on a Friday in this small tourist town). Hydration may be key today. Flush, flush, flush.
Day 10 – 09/26 …..211.4…..
Day 11 – 09/27 …..211.2….. I am not getting where I want to be in a very healthy way. Even with the scale going down I am not super happy. I know I avoided meals yesterday and just ate too much junk. It may have been lower calories overall and it may have caused a decrease on the scale but it is all about healthy and sustainable. I vow to have a better day today. One day at a time, right?
Day 12 – 09/28 …..209.8…..Yay!!! Better meals, a bit better movement. I just gotta watch those bad snacks!
Day 13 – 09/29 …..210.0….. Just a simple fluctuation. I had a very well-balanced day yesterday. Low cal for sure.
Day 14 – 09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday with leftovers today. Still down a tad from the start.
Weight Loss in September……………….. 0.3 lb LOSS
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..0.3 Loss
Day 15 – 10/01 …..211.0…..I finished the last of the Chinese food. Now time for healthier and less sodium!
Day 16 – 10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday and tried to keep the calories low (AS THEY SHOULD BE) . I hope today will be another good day!
Day 17 - 10/03 …..210.4….. I salted my low sodium veggie soup because it tasted sweet and then I cheated with some dessert when I could have just had the soup and called IT dessert! Lesson learned. However, I am still down 1.6 in the last 10 days which is better than I’ve done in awhile so I will try to keep up the momentum. I am hydrating a lot today to offset any bloat.
Day 18 – 10/04 …..210.0….. Going back down, even with challenges. #nevergiveup
Day 19 – 10/05 …..211.6….. I ate healthy yesterday but dinner was not until 11:00 pm (busy day). Lots of steps also so this is a shock! No TMI this morning so that doesn’t help. Very disappointing but not disrupting. Staying on track today.
Day 20 – 10/06 …..209.4….. Whoosh!
Day 21 – 10/07 …..209.6….. A good day yesterday so this is likely a normal fluctuation.
Day 22 – 10/08 …..209.8….. Another good day. The slight fluctuation must be from no TMI (potty) x 2 days. Otherwise, all is well. Good choices are being made. Not too much movement due to a pretty yucky foot injury but otherwise, all is well.
Day 23 – 10/09 …..209.6…..Slightly better but my snacks were cheats last night. Working to stop the midnight madness!
Day 24 – 10/10 …..210.0…..Fish fry last night. Today I will be extra careful. I am going to go look at Dawn’s videos right now. Pretty exited!
Day 25 – 10/11 …..209.2….. Yay!
Day 26 – 10/12 …..208.6….. Artificially low? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Day 27 – 10/13 …..208.6….. I see I posted my stats yesterday on the wrong challenge. I guess I was just excited! I traveled today so I am afraid of tomorrow’s numbers, but I will try to stay positive and tackle whatever mean ol’ number that scale may bring.
Day 28 – 10/14 …..209.2….. I’m actually quite pleased with this. Sometimes carbs pack on 2-3 pounds from one travel meal! As a diabetic, I always eat when traveling. I am sure I will always choose those lovely foods not available in my little home town. However, changing habits in some way IS good so I am trying to resign myself to smaller portions. Also a lighter calorie/carb day the day after. No need to keep the extra ounces (on my hips) right?
Day 29 – 10/15 …..208.4….. God is Good and He has always had my back. Today is the first step in some life-changing things I have been working on. It puts me one step closer to where I need to be in my personal and professional life. I hope everyone will smile with (and for) me today. As far as my weight goes, I am not counting every carb and calorie again, just yet, but I am tweaking and making some important changes on this particular path of my journey. When all my resolutions are here, I will be able to focus again. It will be before Christmas I hope. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Down almost a whole pound overnight and a bit lower than my pre-travel weight! I am estatic!
Day 30 – 10/16 …..208.2….. I’ll take it!
Day 31 – 10/17 …..207.6….. I am trying to make a better difference everyday in my diet, movement and attitude. I’m not 100% yet, some personal things continue to hold me back in time and energy, but I’m on my way!
Day 32 – 10/18 …..208.2….. I was very careful and got in some extra movement. I did have garlic bread (2 slices) so I guess I deserve this. I am still carefully watching portions (otherwise).
Day 33 – 10/19 …..207.4….. I enjoyed a new Deep Dish Pizza place in my little rural town. It was very good. I ate ½ of what I would normally eat and saved the rest for my dinner. No snacks at TV time to make up for the carbs/calories. It really helped and my weight has moved down! I will make today a great day!
Day 34 – 10/20 …..207.0…..I made a few bad choices but stopped temptation in it’s tracks and made the actual decision to make better one’s for the rest of the day. So glad I did!
Day 35 – 10/21 …..206.2….. I’m actually patting myself on the back today. So proud I have continued my changes. Yesterday I danced to one song on my Alexa and I did one Fitness Marshall (Sour Candy) with Lady Gaga. It felt like a 20 minute workout so I am out of shape but it was fun. I always love watching him!
Day 36 – 10/22 …..207.6…..Well that Sux! I guess grilled cheese & tomato soup is off the menu in the near future! Having chili-dogs at a local bar/restaurant today with a friend. I will have to work my whole dietary day around the pre-planned lunch. I need more movement and water today too.
Day 37 – 10/23 …..206.8….. I could have done without the French silk pie, or could I? Still trending down so I must be diligent!
Day 38 – 10/24 …..207.8….. Lucky Charms for dinner is a no-no.
Day 39 – 10/25 …..208.2…..A horrid day of grab & go eating. In fact it has been that way for the past few days. I MUST find time to cook but its pretty hard to do when most of my time lately has been away from home on projects. Tomorrow I travel far & wide to pick up my car from transmission shop downstate. I won’t be home until late evening. More weight!
Day 40 – 10/26 …..208.2….. Feeling like a loser right now without losing.
Day 41 – 10/27 …..210.4….. After travel weight. Fall is trying to get to me again with the pre-snow (bad roads) travel rush and with the warm & toasty comfort food. Too cold to walk and all that jazz. Knowledge is power! Today will be a good day.
Day 42 – 10/28 …..209.2….. Working it back down again. Cha-Cha!
Day 43 – 10/29 …..207.9….. I don’t think I entirely deserve the nice drop on the scale but I’m grateful. Skipped breakfast with a fast, very low cal lunch. We won’t talk about the rest.
Day 44 – 10/30 …..208.4….. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate a tremendously large meal before going back to sleep. I was starving! Very unusual. Early morning weigh-in afterward.
Day 45 – 10/31 …..208.4…..
Weight Loss in October……………….. 2.6 lbs Lost
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.9 lbs LOST so far Total
Day 46 – 11/01 …..207.4….. Even after sneaking some Haloween Candy so I am very happy with this. A very light dinner helped.
Day 47 – 11/02 …..208.6….. I ate 3 meals yesterday. They were pretty healthy but I usually only eat two and a snack at night with TV so I know it was higher calories than typical.
Day 48 – 11/03 …..207.6….. What a roller-coaster ride this is!
Day 49 – 11/04 …..?????….. I actually forgot to weigh today before the coffee. Yesterday was an above-average day so the scale would probably have smiled a little bit on me.
Day 50 – 11/05 …..206.6….. At the halfway mark in the challenge and feeling very happy with my progress. Will this 206 hold? Stay tuned.
******************************HALFWAY MARK**************************
Day 51 – 11/06 …..205.2….. Yay! I’m going to keep this train going and plan my meals carefully today!
Day 52 – 11/07 …..205.2.….. Blood sugar drop last night really did me in. I tried to be more in control of the situation but it still requires sugar and carbs to fix very quickly. I managed to bring it back up without being totally ridiculous. Thankful for that. I will plan more carefully today and avoid that situation tonight, I hope.
Day 53 – 11/08 ……206.0…..Must have been hidden high sodium. My menu wasn’t bad yesterday and my movement was increased.
Day 54 – 11/09 ….206.2….. More salty food. Today is a very big day in my life. I will have little control of anything but I will do my best.
Day 55 – 11/10 …..207.0….. Pizza & icecream during a celebration. Kicking my own butt today.
Day 56 – 11/11 …..207.4….. Reading my posts from various challenges, I think I’ve found a pattern of self-destruction. Every time I have a glucose drop (very scary) I end up eating high carb or sugary things at night which I believe sub-consciensly (spelled wrong) caused me to eat wrong and too much at night to avoid an episode. I am going to work around this but it won’t be easy. That survival instinct we have as humans is very strong and hard to manipulate.
Day 72 – 11/12 …..207.4….. Same
Day 58 – 11/13 ……207.6….. You CAN overeat healthy low cal foods. I was STARVING yesterday. Woke up STARVING again today. I hope for a better day but I am trying to pay attention to my body's cues to avoid sugar drops. Fear changes things and it's a hill I climb sometimes in my journey. Figuring it out.
