100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ December 26, 2020 thru April 4, 2021
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
Day 01 – 12/26 …..205.4…..My family Christmas dinner is on Sunday (tomorrow). I expect to see an increase. Good luck everyone this round.
Day 02 – 12/27 …..203.2…..A nice big Whoosh. I cut back yesterday in anticipation for my very large Christmas Dinner and party today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow, but I will be a good girl in the days following.
Day 03 – 12/28 …..205.2…..Dinner was salty and fatty but delicious. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Day 04[/ b] – 12/29 …..206.0….. It had to be the over-abundance of wine. Perhaps dinner catching up a little with me too from 2 days ago?
Day 05 - 12/30 …..206.0….. Poured out the wine and chose Chinese instead. Gave away the last of the goodies too. I will have the other half of the Chinese today.
Day 06 – 12/31 …..207.0….. Expecting alcohol tonight but I will keep the food in check! Had the last of the Chinese food yesterday.
Weight Loss in December……………….. 1.6 lb GAIN.
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 LB GAIN
Day 07 – 01/01 …..207.8….. Ouch! Chinese catching up? My late December Christmas dinner showing up? Perhaps. But then there were the buckeye balls brought over yesterday. The rest will go to my grandchildren that are visiting today.
Day 08 – 01/02 …..208.1….. Travel today and tomorrow.
Day 09 – 01/03 …..207.1….. Not sure I understand the fluctuations. It should have been yesterdays higher number or even higher after travel and restaurant food. Likely water retention released? More travel today.
Day 10 – 01/04 …..207.4.….. Travel day cancelled yesterday. That allowed me to reach my 10,000 steps. However, my dinner wasn’t until 3:30 a.m. so that did not help the 9:00 a.m. weigh-in.
Day 11 – 01/05 …..207.0….. I will have lots of company today as I’ve called in the troops to help me un-decorate and store my Christmas décor. I’m not sure how my meals will go – probably a very late dinner again, but I will get in lots of movement I hope.
Day 12 – 01/06 …..207.2…..A normal fluctuation. Worked on taking down my Christmas stuff today with the help of one of my handymen. A long day.
Day 13 – 01/07 …..207.2….. Drank milk. It always bloats me. Meals were good.
Day 14 – 01/08 …..207.0….. Better portion control. @dawnbgethealthy WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! YOU ARE SLAYING IT!!!!
Day 15 – 01/09 …..208.6….. Well-planned meals but milk seems to bloat me and kill my progress. I’m going back to a small amount of Fairlife. No more real milk, even when it’s lowfat!!!!
Day 16 – 01/10 …..208.6….. Kept calories good again yesterday and avoided milk. Meals very late as a friend stopped by without notice until 11:00 p.m. That may explain it along with no TMI x 2 days now. My big worry coming up is the remodel we will likely be starting later this week in one of the bathrooms. It is friends and family helping and my meals will be interrupted greatly forcing late meals on the regular. It will be too many to feed and I just can’t eat in front of anyone. There will be many projects this year. I’ve got to figure it all out.
Day 17 - 01/11 …..207.0….. Whoosh. Bathroom duty was better. A wretched night last night filled with personal family turmoil. Bad sleep. Traveled today while so unrested, so we will see what tomorrow holds.
Day 18 – 01/12 …..207.0….. I am very happy to see no gain after travel. I chalk it up to falling asleep early causing all my meals to be earlier. However, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later so I will be watching and tracking the patterns.
Day 19 – 01/13 …..207.2….. A tiny fluctuation. I managed to increase my steps yesterday but I had to work for it. I added a two mile indoor walk to get me over the hump.
Day 20 – 01/14 …..207.0….. Movie night last night. A very good low cal/low carb planned dinner but the snacks were off-target. I’ll eat better today but not much movement. Feeling tired…..
Day 21 – 01/15 …..xxxxx….. No chance to weigh today. A friend woke me up banging on door. Yesterday was good but last night I had too many bad snacks.
Day 22 – 01/16 …..207.0….. A complete rest day yesterday. In bed at 6:45 pm to watch TV until 3:00 am. Slept in this morning to get more sleep than I’ve gotten in months. Over 6 hours which is AMAZING for me. I usually just don’t seem to need more than about 4.5 hours. Maybe retirement will change my sleeping patterns for the better! Going for a 6 for tomorrow’s numbers!
Day 23 – 01/17 …..206.8…..Finally a 6! Barely, but finally!
Day 24 – 01/18 …..206.2….. 3 meals instead of 2 yesterday but no snacks. Finally TMI (bathroom duty). It helped. Now I am going to push for a 5.
Day 25 – 01/19 …..205.6…..Yay! The meals still aren’t perfect but I am focusing on at least a 12/12 IF and a “very diet” dinner in a small quantity. I am still eating very late, but better. Focusing on sleep. Phone woke me up at 5 hours & 5 minutes today. I forgot to mute it. Still better than usual but I would have slept a bit more otherwise. I feel my body fighting me a bit. I woke up starving. I am listening to the cues. I had a bit of an early breakfast. I will keep my dinner light.
Day 26 – 01/20 …..205.2….. Moving right along and hoping to keep it up! This puts me back to just below my starting weight. Now, to get busy!
Day 27 – 01/21 …..205.4….. Just a small fluctuation. Yesterday was pretty busy. Ended up with OMAD and low calorie but not much exercise or movement. Lots of water though! I am still feeling happy and strong!
Day 28 – 01/22 …..205.2…..
Day 29 – 01/23 …..206.2….. I cooked a beautiful low calorie and low carb meal for my friend yesterday. Day was going great. Then……late night snack monster reared his ugly head. Pop-tarts and milk. It wasn’t worth a full pound gain by any stretch of the imagination. I will try to extra-tweak today to make up for it so that pound doesn’t stick around.
Day 30 – 01/24 …..208.2….. This is not the way to get to Onederland. It’s not even the scenic route. Turning this train around so I can go in the right direction. Lost my way.
Day 31 – 01/25 …..207.0….. I wish I could take credit for doing something wildly healthier and different but I can’t. Scale shot up yesterday more than expected and shot down today more than expected. Strange. I seriously don’t think, based on what I ate, that it was fluid retention so I am baffled but happy this morning to see a bit of a correction.
Day 32 – 01/26 …..206.6….. I hope to make better choices today.
Day 33 – 01/27 …..207.6….. I need potty duty and more exercise, both of which is proving impossible.
Day 34 – 01/28 …..207.0….. Better….
Day 35 – 01/29 …..207.6….. Back down on hands and knees scrubbing carpets in my new home. Previous owners were extremely heavy smokers and very old so the entire house (all 3 floors) has not been thoroughally cleaned in YEARS! One room has blue carpet which appeared to be 100% completely green until I hand cleaned it then went over with shampooer. Doing around the edges where the shampooer struggles to reach is the hardest but I’m getting it done. With the process I’m using, each room takes 6 days so this will be going on for months. It is my winter project because spring holds so many things to be done! So I am burning the calories, for sure, but not getting in many actual steps. I just hope for continued progress in my journey as well as in my home.
Day 36 – 01/30 …..206.4….. The last of the chinese food today.
Day 37 – 01/31 …..207.6….. Hello Chinese Food aftermath. I guess I deserve this.
Weight Loss in January……………….. 0.6 GAIN (from the December 31st weight)
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.4 GAIN
Day 38 – 02/01 …..207.6….. No change yet. Staying hopeful.
Day 39 – 02/02 …..207.6….. Banana nut bread snack. That gets you nowhere.
Day 40 – 02/03 …..208.8……Epic failure. I finished the banana nut bread. Bathroom remodel starts today which will make cooking difficult. I must be creative in my eating choices and be willing to cook later when I am so tired. I am still working on carpets. It will be awhile before I can breathe easy.
Day 41 – 02/04 …..xxxxx…… Woke up running and actually forgot to weigh.
Day 42 – 02/05 …..208.6….. Okay, let’s try this again!
Day 43 – 02/06 …..207.2….. I can’t quite pat myself on the back. The day ended in lower calorie overall but the choices of quick frozen food was questionable. Not very healthy.
Day 44 – 02/07 …..207.7….. Pizza with DD and DGS which is a rare occasion these days, especially with the pandemic. No formal exercise except chasing the 3 yr old up & down the stairs most of the evening! Back on track today.
Day 45 – 02/08 …..207.4….. Better.
Day 46 – 02/09 …..206.6….. I am expecting a high-sodium dinner so I am being extra careful today and will be drinking plenty of water.
Day 47 – 02/10 …..207.2….. Hello Sodium! Traveling today too. Oh boy!
Day 48 – 02/11 …..206.8….. Nearly ½ pound down after travel? I’m suspicious this is going to sneak up on me tomorrow since it hid today. We shall see. Keeping the faith…..
Day 49 – 02/12 …..206.0….. Didn’t expect to see lower today honestly. Lots of water shed yesterday. Maybe I’ve lost that high sodium day.
Day 50 – 02/13 …..206.0….. I am grateful for no change. I ate great healthy meals yesterday and then binged on snacks. And I do mean BINGE!!!!! I will be extra careful today to help make up for my bad choices last night.
Day 51 – 02/14 …..206.4….. I have gained exactly 1 pound since the start of this challenge. Very disappointed! I did an experiment. I added up all the weight loss from day-to-day since Jan 1, 2020 to see how much weight I had lost because I knew I was losing the same pounds over and over. I have lost 103.8 pounds! However, my scale is showing a gain of 12.4 lbs during the same timeframe. Talk about self-sabotage! Something has to change!
Day 52 – 02/15 …..208.8….. One meal yesterday. This is frustrating and very unfair.
Day 53 – 02/16 …..207.2….. Weight coming back down. Grateful where I can be.
Day 54 – 02/17 …..204.6….. Sodium likely gone. Great food choices yesterday. No exercise due to work crew. They are here again today.
Day 55 – 02/18 …..204.4….. Very little sleep and some late night hunger so I am happy for this small drop on the scale.
Day 56 – 02/19 …..204.8….. Good diet yesterday but very very little movement. On the computer most of the day with tax prep. Today is day 3 with no TMI so I think that contributes. Still no word of vaccine in my little town. They are still on the very first group here – Group 1A for medical personnel. We don’t have many medical personnel in our town so it is a lack of the vaccine itself. I just want to get this over with! I am group 1C due to diabetes and cancer remission.
Day 57 – 02/20 …..205.0…..
Day 58 – 02/21 …..205.0….. Grateful to have the same numbers glaring at me from the scale. My calories were okay yesterday but OMGosh on the choices I made. Horrid, Horrid little girl I was! Absolutely nothing fueling or replenishing about what I stuck in my pie-hole. That makes me feel gluttonous and (almost) childlike. I was a limited thinker yesterday. Today I will ponder before I put my greedy little fingers upon anything!
Day 59 – 02/22 …..207.2….. I had a bowl of ice cream instead of lunch. I guess my body knows the difference and punished me. Nutrition matters.
Day 60 – 02/23 …..207.2…… I refuse to spend 100 days making more better choices than not, move movement than not, more sacrifices than not and end up in a higher weight than when I started! I am expecting Chinese tonight (and leftovers tomorrow) for dinner. Pushing water. Skipping lunch. Diet alone isn’t doing it though. I need more movement and there is absolutely zero privacy here during this remodel. (And more remodeling coming.) I’m so tired at night but I have to fit something in!
Day 61 – 02/24 .….207.5…… Chinese leftovers today so I don’t expect to see anything very nice or friendly on the scale tomorrow.
Day 62 – 02/25 …..207.5…… Thankful that the leftovers didn’t kill my scales or my spirit. Using the stairs………..
Day 63 – 02/26 …..207.2…… Yay, I put that Chinese behind me (which was a tasty treat) and had a low calorie dinner yesterday. I walked the steps but found I could only do it once at a time (very steep and I am out of shape). That is okay because I can just do it more often and build up my strength. Love the idea!
Day 64 – 02/27 …..207.6…… Frustrated. It was the homemade sour dough bread from the Amish with butter. I should not have went back for that 2nd piece later last night. Extra stairs today!
Day 65 – 02/28 …..207.0…… Although this was a nice overnight drop, I am up 1.6 lbs since the start of this challenge. My main goal now is just to get back to starting weight by the end. It sounds easy, but based on my stats, it won’t be. Focusing on this shorter term goal at this point may help.
Weight Loss in February……………….. 0.6 Loss
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb GAIN
Day 66 – 03/01 …..206.6…… Hopeful I’ll stay smart & ready as each day comes. I fit in 20 minutes of dancing last night when I got a burst of energy. It put my steps over 11,000. So grateful!
Day 67 – 03/02 …..207.4…… Bouncy Bounce. Snacks with milk. Why can’t I be like a normal person and have a snack with a glass of milk and not balloon up so much? Gosh I miss being in my 20’s
Day 68 – 03/03 …..207.0…… Better and very pleased because I did end up traveling yesterday afternoon until later last night. I needed a Home Depot for some returns and some remodel shopping. The crew took the day off for some personal business so my son & I took care of our business. I steered clear of Chinese because I struggled all last week over one dinner. Instead I opted for my son’s pick….Applebees. I tried something new, the prime rib sandwich. I also had 4 boneless honey-BBQ wings. I left the fries on the plate and drank water with lemon. Sandwich was delicious. So glad I kept my cool. Down nearly half of a pound when traveling is a record for me!
Day 69 – 03/04 …..208.4…… Maybe that travel/restaurant lunch caught up with me afterall. I dunno. I also had a SEVERE glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I haven’t made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable. I am not off to a very good start on my search for Onederland. But it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. #fightingthegoodfight.
Day 70 – 03/05 …..208.4…… Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesn’t want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.
Day 71 – 03/06 …..208.4…… Traveled to attorney appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my will, trust, power-of-attorney and advanced directive. Now I have some homework to do before my next appointment on March 17th. I had lunch at a restaurant in that town. I ate half and boxed the rest up for my dinner. I kept it reasonable but my snacks late last night are something I’m not too proud of. Glucose stayed steady probably because of the snacks. I hope to keep today better and that the meal out does not show up in a day or two on the scale.
Day 72 – 03/07 …..207.6……Yay! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am, especially after travel! Today will be takeout pizza. No, I am not self-sabotaging (this time). After the work crew leaves today, I will be having takeout with my children as we hold a family meeting in regards to my Will & Trust. It will be a difficult evening so I am already stressing and I didn’t sleep well last night. I will try to keep portion reasonable and get in some pacing steps & stairs today while the work crew are here.
Day 73 – 03/08 …..208.2…… Pizza straight to the hips! I will be better today.
Day 74 – 03/09 …..206.8…… Meals light. Snacks…..Meh. I can do better!

Day 9: Sun, 1/3: 136.1 - A bunch of water loss yesterday. I remained very active throughout the holidays even though I upped my consumption. Very happy to see this number, it motivates me. 417 in the Green
Day 10: Mon, 1/4: 135.9 - Going to do my measurements today. an astounding 1278 in the Green
Day 11: Tues, 1/5: 135.4 - Many workouts yesterday, and back to healthier eating. A scale drop always motivates me to be "good". We all fight so hard for each pound, too easy to backslide and undo the hard work. 1354 in the Green
Day 12: Wed, 1/6: 135.5 - Very long work day and a very late dinner. Burned lots of calories and didn't eat them back, hoping that shows up in a day or two. 1190 in the Green
Day 13: Thurs, 1/7: 134.8 - New low : - ) All of this calorie burning is showing up on the scale. Work alone was 20,000 steps yesterday on top of my daily workout. 506 in the Green
Day 14: Fri, 1/8: 134.1 - Lowest so far in many many years. Hoping to keep this going. 620 in the Green
Day 15: Sat, 1/9: 135.1 - Kind of bad choices yesterday, but I touched that 134.1 once so I know that I can get back there. 721 in the Green

3rd Week Actual Weight: 135.1
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 6086, should have lost more than a pound, and did.
Week 4:
Day 16: 1/10: 137.4 - Wow, almost back up to Day 1 weight for some reason. Hoping that this is just a fluctuation. I have been on track except for Friday (which obviously caught up to me just now), but even then I was under calorie goals due to activity. 831 in the Green
Day 17: 1/11: 137.4 - Got in lots of activity yesterday because I was planning on a huge steak and prawns for dinner. This will fuel my body for days to come, but I want to get this number back down. 663 in the Green
Day 18: 1/12: 136.1 - Better, still 1 pound up from last week. 668 in the Green
Day 19: 1/13: 136.5 - I'm okay with this, but hope to get closer to last week's EW. 558 in the Green
Day 20: 1/14: 135.8 - Sticking with the plan. Hoping to be able to leave work and get up to another town's arena for a 1 hour public skate today. 827 in the Green
Day 21: 1/15: 136.7 - Loads of activity yesterday, but .. Nachos. 410 in the Green
Day 22: 1/16: 136.5 - So it looks like I lost 1 pound in a month. 452 in the Green
4th Week Goal Weight: 134.4
4th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 3778 - just enough to lose a pound
Day 23: Sun, 1/17: 137.3 - Ouch, apparently still paying for Friday's nachos. 999 in the Green
Day 24: Mon, 1/18: - 135.8 - Much better. Now to get back to week 2's weights. 705 in the Green
Day 25: Tues, 1/19: - 135.6 - Got in a few extra Fitness Marshall songs here and there 2 or 3 at a time throughout the day yesterday which added up to a nice calorie burn (and mood lifter) overall. 539 in the Green
Day 26: Wed, 1/20: - 135.5 - I have moved all of my jobs from today to tomorrow. I am going to get out for a nice long walk/hike. Yesterday was incredibly windy with dust blowing everywhere when I tried to leave work for a small walk/break so I didn't spend any time outdoors. I had my 2 year physical early in the morning. Doc was pleased with my weight loss, but still needs me to lose more to bring my blood pressure further down and get me to a healthy body weight for my height. Working on it. Very slow. 526 in the Green
Day 27: Thurs, 1/21: 135.4 - Always happy to see a drop even if tiny. 368 in the Green

5th Week Actual Weight: 136.4 - disappointed with this, but know that it is up to me.
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 3812 - enough to lose 1 pound
Day 30: Sun, 1/24: 138.1 - Argh. Wings last night must have been the culprit. I wasn't over my calories though. 1060 in the Green
Day 31: Mon, 1/25: 138.3 - Sodium? Lots of activity yesterday, I feel like the weight will drop back down over the next few days. 762 in the Green
Day 32: Tues, 1/26: 135.3 - Maybe just being so banged up was causing my body to hold on to weight? Very happy to see this. 703 in the Green
Day 33: Wed, 1/27: 135.2 - Very busy work week, prepping my meals ahead of time so that I don't grab something "bad". 799 in the Green
Day 34: Thurs, 1/28: - 135.2 - Worked a super long day yesterday, I didn't get home until after midnight, but had to eat because I hadn't had anything since the morning. I thought that my weight would reflect the late eating and tiny amount of sleep. Glad that it didn't. 653 in the Green
Day 35: Fri, 1/29: - 135.5 - Looming end of week weigh in always motivates me to be "good" : - ) 844 in the Green
Day 36: Sat, 1/30: 134.8 - Going to try not to blow it today. 440 in the Green

Day 37: Sun, 1/31: 136.9 - Ouch and TMI - 907 in the Green
Day 38: Mon, 2/1: 137.5 - Another TMI uptick, expecting a woosh over the next few days. 562 in the Green
Day 39: Tues, 2/2: 137.1 - Can't say that I am not disappointed to be so close to my start weight 39 days ago. Mind you I haven't been out on my trail walks in well over a week so that is probably making a difference (melting here, so water on top of ice, not going) 729 in the Green
Day 40: Wed, 2/3: 135.9 - I touched the 134.1 in the last 100, but I was outside lots. Missing the trails indeed. 577 in the Green
Day 41: Thurs, 2/4: 136.3 - MFP has been suggesting the 120s for 4 months now (if every day was like today) but it still feels far off. 966 in the Green
Day 42: Fri, 2/5: 134.8 - So much better. I got out of the Obese Zone in September, working towards getting out of the Overweight Zone some day.
Day 43: Sat: 2/6: 135.8 - Oh well, I will keep working at it. 678 in the Green
7th Week Goal Weight: 134.9
7th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 4949 - More than enough to lose a pound.
Day 44: Sun, 2/7: 136.1 - Like a yo-yo. 193 in the Green
Day 45: Mon, 2/8: 137.5 - Superbowl no-nos yesterday. 915 in the Green
Day 46: Tues, 2/9: 137.2 - Working hard to get it back down. 862 in the Green
Day 47: Wed, 2/10: 134.4 - Whew. Too hard fought to blow it. 489 in the Green
Day 48: Thurs, 2/11: 134.2 - 383 in the Green
Day 49: Fri, 2/12: 134.3 - I got to skate yesterday. I burned a lot of calories between that, workouts, and pedometer (1198) but ate more too. Going to eat light today. 661 in the Green
Day 50: Sat, 2/13: 135.5 - Argh, no reason for a gain today after 3 days in the "4s". 817 in the Green
8th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I just keep plugging in these goal numbers, I hit this number in week 2. Either wishful thinking or something to work towards.
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.5 - I actually was on a good track to make my goal.
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 4320 - enough to lose a pound
Day 51: Sun, 2/14: 135.6 - Hoping that the weather goes back to "normal" soon, outdoor activity tends to lose me more weight than indoor for some reason. Perhaps it is a chemical that only gets produced outside? 1144 calories in the Red.
Day 52: Mon, 2/15: 136.3 - This will go up more, I had Ribs yesterday, so this choice will lead to the expected results. Glad that I stop myself from having them once per week like I used to. MFP says that I would be 144 pounds in 5 weeks if every day were like that. I have to keep with the calorie intake/burn in which MFP says that I will be 123 in 5 weeks if I eat like that every day. I had an entire day of calories extra yesterday, that will take a while to undo. I will work out extra today and eat frequently and light to try to mitigate it. 841 in the Green
Day 53: Tues, 2/16: 135.3 - That is the quickest that I have bounced back from Ribs. It was a holiday yesterday though, so I had time for lots of workouts. Or maybe my body went into fat burning overdrive from the excessive calories the day before. 725 in the Green
Day 54: Wed, 2/17: 134.8 - I have been working out and eating well since the Ribs. I have now made up for that day in the "Red" and am moving forward. Once in awhile "treat" takes a while to get back off. 717 in the Green
Day 55: Thurs, 2/18: 134.4 - Worried about our friends in Texas with this climate change weather whip. 911 in the Green
Day 56: Fri, 2/19: 133.3 - New low. I have been working my tail off this entire week to try to mitigate my overage from Ribs consumption. I have a nice steak and prawns for tonight's dinner, so will definitely need to get a bunch of activity in before that. 493 in the Green
Day 57: Sat, 2/20: 133.5 - Not too bad after my huge bacon wrapped beef tenderloin steak last night. Pizza and drinks tonight though...138 in the Green
9th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I guess that I will just keep plugging this number in until I hit it again. Hit it in week 2, so maybe this week if I can stay "good".
9th Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 2681 - Not enough to lose a pound, but I had excess of that every other week so lost some weight
Day 58: Sun, 2/21: 136.0 - Pizza, beer, and copious amounts of water after from the salty bacon/ham and stuff pizza yesterday. I will get lots of activity in today. 965 in the Green
Day 59: Mon, 2/22: 136.9 - I really feel like this is temporary, I expected to see a drop this morning. 1007 in the Green
Day 60: Tues, 2/23: 136.6 - Very active yesterday, had hoped to see a drop. Maybe tomorrow. 258 in the Green
Day 61: Wed, 2/24: 135.5 - Meal prep is done. Going to get a bunch of small workouts in today here and there. 997 in the Green
Day 62: Thurs, 2/25: 135.1 - 2 more weigh days left of this week.
Day 63: Fri, 2/26: 135.1- Got up to another town for a public skating time slot yesterday. Hoping to see a nice number tomorrow. 956 in the Green
Day 64: Sat, 2/27: 135.2 - I'm okay with this. 242 in the Green
10th Week Goal Weight: 133.9 - seems ambitious, but after hitting 133.3 I feel like I can achieve it.
10th Week Actual Weight: 135.2
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 5332, more than enough to lose a pound.
Day 65: Sun, 2/28: DNW - up during the night, water, coffee, breakfast already consumed. 633 in the Green
Day 66: Mon, 3/1: 136.0 - I will get on top of that. It takes 3 days for "bad" foods to show up on my scale. 653 in the Green.
Day 67: Tues, 3/2: 135.0 - Okay, back close to last week's weights. I am going to try to stay "good" the rest of this week. 502 in the Green
Day 68: Wed, 3/3: 133.0 - Super pleased to see this number again finally. 958 in the Green
Day 69: Thurs, 3/4: 132.2 - Are all of those weeks when I had more than enough excess calories left over to "lose a pound" finally catching up? Pretty darned happy with this new low. 46 in the Green
Day 70: Fri, 3/5: 134.1 - So easy to put it on, hard to get it off. Food choices weren't great yesterday. MFP went from saying 121 in 5 weeks to 133 in 5 weeks. Groan. 620 in the Green
Day 71: Sat, 3/6: 134.9 - Had lots of activity yesterday and today will be ice skating. Expected a lower number today, maybe tomorrow. 634 in the Green

Day 54: Wed, 2/17: 134.8 - I have been working out and eating well since the Ribs. I have now made up for that day in the "Red" and am moving forward. Once in awhile "treat" takes a while to get back off. 717 in the Green
Day 55: Thurs, 2/18: 134.4 - Worried about our friends in Texas with this climate change weather whip. 911 in the Green
Day 56: Fri, 2/19: 133.3 - New low. I have been working my tail off this entire week to try to mitigate my overage from Ribs consumption. I have a nice steak and prawns for tonight's dinner, so will definitely need to get a bunch of activity in before that. 493 in the Green
Day 57: Sat, 2/20: 133.5 - Not too bad after my huge bacon wrapped beef tenderloin steak last night. Pizza and drinks tonight though...138 in the Green
9th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I guess that I will just keep plugging this number in until I hit it again. Hit it in week 2, so maybe this week if I can stay "good".
9th Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 2681 - Not enough to lose a pound, but I had excess of that every other week so lost some weight
Day 58: Sun, 2/21: 136.0 - Pizza, beer, and copious amounts of water after from the salty bacon/ham and stuff pizza yesterday. I will get lots of activity in today. 965 in the Green
Day 59: Mon, 2/22: 136.9 - I really feel like this is temporary, I expected to see a drop this morning. 1007 in the Green
Day 60: Tues, 2/23: 136.6 - Very active yesterday, had hoped to see a drop. Maybe tomorrow. 258 in the Green
Day 61: Wed, 2/24: 135.5 - Meal prep is done. Going to get a bunch of small workouts in today here and there. 997 in the Green
Day 62: Thurs, 2/25: 135.1 - 2 more weigh days left of this week.
Day 63: Fri, 2/26: 135.1- Got up to another town for a public skating time slot yesterday. Hoping to see a nice number tomorrow. 956 in the Green
Day 64: Sat, 2/27: 135.2 - I'm okay with this. 242 in the Green
10th Week Goal Weight: 133.9 - seems ambitious, but after hitting 133.3 I feel like I can achieve it.
10th Week Actual Weight: 135.2
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 5332, more than enough to lose a pound.
Day 65: Sun, 2/28: DNW - up during the night, water, coffee, breakfast already consumed. 633 in the Green
Day 66: Mon, 3/1: 136.0 - I will get on top of that. It takes 3 days for "bad" foods to show up on my scale. 653 in the Green.
Day 67: Tues, 3/2: 135.0 - Okay, back close to last week's weights. I am going to try to stay "good" the rest of this week. 502 in the Green
Day 68: Wed, 3/3: 133.0 - Super pleased to see this number again finally. 958 in the Green
Day 69: Thurs, 3/4: 132.2 - Are all of those weeks when I had more than enough excess calories left over to "lose a pound" finally catching up? Pretty darned happy with this new low. 46 in the Green
Day 70: Fri, 3/5: 134.1 - So easy to put it on, hard to get it off. Food choices weren't great yesterday. MFP went from saying 121 in 5 weeks to 133 in 5 weeks. Groan. 620 in the Green
Day 71: Sat, 3/6: 134.9 - Had lots of activity yesterday and today will be ice skating. Expected a lower number today, maybe tomorrow. 634 in the Green
11th Week Goal Weight: 134.0
11th Week Actual Weight: 134.9
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 4046 - enough to lose a pound.
Day 72: Sun, 3/7: 133.8 - Day off, I will up my activity and prep meals for the week. 813 in the Green
Day 73: Mon, 3/8: 134.7 - Saturday's food choices kicking in? 628 in the Green
Day 74: Tues, 3/9: 134.7 - Expected a drop this morning, but nope. 1119 in the Green
Day 75: Wed, 3/10: 133.3 - My calorie burn was through the roof yesterday, because on top of my regular workouts and walking I got a very good ice skate in which burns a ton.
Day 76: Thurs, 3/11:
Day 77: Fri, 3/12:
Day 78: Sat, 3/13:
12th Week Goal Weight: 132.2 (because I hit that last week)

@dawnbgethealthy I admire your unwaveable commitment! In a day or two you will probably hit a new low. You continue to inspire me, no matter where I am at in my journey! Your small changes have made HUGE differences. You are 60 years old and the size of a high-schooler! I can't wait to meet you there!
Aww, that is so sweet Donna.
For me deciding to lose weight was key. It sure has been slow going! Yes, tiny changes have added up I suppose. I want it to be sustainable, a lifestyle change, not a diet.
I still have 20 more pounds to go to get at my correct weight for my height and frame. I expect that it will take another 2 years. Happy to be on this journey with you.
We all eventually find what works for us as individuals. For myself, it takes 2 or 3 days for my body to catch up whether it is having an indulgence (weight goes up) or an extra active day (weight goes down). Frustrating indeed, but I have seen the trends. I make the decision to have indulgent foods (much less often) and try to accept the consequences of weight gain from such said foods (you know that for me it is Ribs).1 -

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ December 26, 2020 thru April 4, 2021
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
Day 01 – 12/26 …..205.4…..My family Christmas dinner is on Sunday (tomorrow). I expect to see an increase. Good luck everyone this round.
Day 02 – 12/27 …..203.2…..A nice big Whoosh. I cut back yesterday in anticipation for my very large Christmas Dinner and party today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow, but I will be a good girl in the days following.
Day 03 – 12/28 …..205.2…..Dinner was salty and fatty but delicious. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Day 04[/ b] – 12/29 …..206.0….. It had to be the over-abundance of wine. Perhaps dinner catching up a little with me too from 2 days ago?
Day 05 - 12/30 …..206.0….. Poured out the wine and chose Chinese instead. Gave away the last of the goodies too. I will have the other half of the Chinese today.
Day 06 – 12/31 …..207.0….. Expecting alcohol tonight but I will keep the food in check! Had the last of the Chinese food yesterday.
Weight Loss in December……………….. 1.6 lb GAIN.
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 LB GAIN
Day 07 – 01/01 …..207.8….. Ouch! Chinese catching up? My late December Christmas dinner showing up? Perhaps. But then there were the buckeye balls brought over yesterday. The rest will go to my grandchildren that are visiting today.
Day 08 – 01/02 …..208.1….. Travel today and tomorrow.
Day 09 – 01/03 …..207.1….. Not sure I understand the fluctuations. It should have been yesterdays higher number or even higher after travel and restaurant food. Likely water retention released? More travel today.
Day 10 – 01/04 …..207.4.….. Travel day cancelled yesterday. That allowed me to reach my 10,000 steps. However, my dinner wasn’t until 3:30 a.m. so that did not help the 9:00 a.m. weigh-in.
Day 11 – 01/05 …..207.0….. I will have lots of company today as I’ve called in the troops to help me un-decorate and store my Christmas décor. I’m not sure how my meals will go – probably a very late dinner again, but I will get in lots of movement I hope.
Day 12 – 01/06 …..207.2…..A normal fluctuation. Worked on taking down my Christmas stuff today with the help of one of my handymen. A long day.
Day 13 – 01/07 …..207.2….. Drank milk. It always bloats me. Meals were good.
Day 14 – 01/08 …..207.0….. Better portion control. @dawnbgethealthy WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! YOU ARE SLAYING IT!!!!
Day 15 – 01/09 …..208.6….. Well-planned meals but milk seems to bloat me and kill my progress. I’m going back to a small amount of Fairlife. No more real milk, even when it’s lowfat!!!!
Day 16 – 01/10 …..208.6….. Kept calories good again yesterday and avoided milk. Meals very late as a friend stopped by without notice until 11:00 p.m. That may explain it along with no TMI x 2 days now. My big worry coming up is the remodel we will likely be starting later this week in one of the bathrooms. It is friends and family helping and my meals will be interrupted greatly forcing late meals on the regular. It will be too many to feed and I just can’t eat in front of anyone. There will be many projects this year. I’ve got to figure it all out.
Day 17 - 01/11 …..207.0….. Whoosh. Bathroom duty was better. A wretched night last night filled with personal family turmoil. Bad sleep. Traveled today while so unrested, so we will see what tomorrow holds.
Day 18 – 01/12 …..207.0….. I am very happy to see no gain after travel. I chalk it up to falling asleep early causing all my meals to be earlier. However, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later so I will be watching and tracking the patterns.
Day 19 – 01/13 …..207.2….. A tiny fluctuation. I managed to increase my steps yesterday but I had to work for it. I added a two mile indoor walk to get me over the hump.
Day 20 – 01/14 …..207.0….. Movie night last night. A very good low cal/low carb planned dinner but the snacks were off-target. I’ll eat better today but not much movement. Feeling tired…..
Day 21 – 01/15 …..xxxxx….. No chance to weigh today. A friend woke me up banging on door. Yesterday was good but last night I had too many bad snacks.
Day 22 – 01/16 …..207.0….. A complete rest day yesterday. In bed at 6:45 pm to watch TV until 3:00 am. Slept in this morning to get more sleep than I’ve gotten in months. Over 6 hours which is AMAZING for me. I usually just don’t seem to need more than about 4.5 hours. Maybe retirement will change my sleeping patterns for the better! Going for a 6 for tomorrow’s numbers!
Day 23 – 01/17 …..206.8…..Finally a 6! Barely, but finally!
Day 24 – 01/18 …..206.2….. 3 meals instead of 2 yesterday but no snacks. Finally TMI (bathroom duty). It helped. Now I am going to push for a 5.
Day 25 – 01/19 …..205.6…..Yay! The meals still aren’t perfect but I am focusing on at least a 12/12 IF and a “very diet” dinner in a small quantity. I am still eating very late, but better. Focusing on sleep. Phone woke me up at 5 hours & 5 minutes today. I forgot to mute it. Still better than usual but I would have slept a bit more otherwise. I feel my body fighting me a bit. I woke up starving. I am listening to the cues. I had a bit of an early breakfast. I will keep my dinner light.
Day 26 – 01/20 …..205.2….. Moving right along and hoping to keep it up! This puts me back to just below my starting weight. Now, to get busy!
Day 27 – 01/21 …..205.4….. Just a small fluctuation. Yesterday was pretty busy. Ended up with OMAD and low calorie but not much exercise or movement. Lots of water though! I am still feeling happy and strong!
Day 28 – 01/22 …..205.2…..
Day 29 – 01/23 …..206.2….. I cooked a beautiful low calorie and low carb meal for my friend yesterday. Day was going great. Then……late night snack monster reared his ugly head. Pop-tarts and milk. It wasn’t worth a full pound gain by any stretch of the imagination. I will try to extra-tweak today to make up for it so that pound doesn’t stick around.
Day 30 – 01/24 …..208.2….. This is not the way to get to Onederland. It’s not even the scenic route. Turning this train around so I can go in the right direction. Lost my way.
Day 31 – 01/25 …..207.0….. I wish I could take credit for doing something wildly healthier and different but I can’t. Scale shot up yesterday more than expected and shot down today more than expected. Strange. I seriously don’t think, based on what I ate, that it was fluid retention so I am baffled but happy this morning to see a bit of a correction.
Day 32 – 01/26 …..206.6….. I hope to make better choices today.
Day 33 – 01/27 …..207.6….. I need potty duty and more exercise, both of which is proving impossible.
Day 34 – 01/28 …..207.0….. Better….
Day 35 – 01/29 …..207.6….. Back down on hands and knees scrubbing carpets in my new home. Previous owners were extremely heavy smokers and very old so the entire house (all 3 floors) has not been thoroughally cleaned in YEARS! One room has blue carpet which appeared to be 100% completely green until I hand cleaned it then went over with shampooer. Doing around the edges where the shampooer struggles to reach is the hardest but I’m getting it done. With the process I’m using, each room takes 6 days so this will be going on for months. It is my winter project because spring holds so many things to be done! So I am burning the calories, for sure, but not getting in many actual steps. I just hope for continued progress in my journey as well as in my home.
Day 36 – 01/30 …..206.4….. The last of the chinese food today.
Day 37 – 01/31 …..207.6….. Hello Chinese Food aftermath. I guess I deserve this.
Weight Loss in January……………….. 0.6 GAIN (from the December 31st weight)
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.4 GAIN
Day 38 – 02/01 …..207.6….. No change yet. Staying hopeful.
Day 39 – 02/02 …..207.6….. Banana nut bread snack. That gets you nowhere.
Day 40 – 02/03 …..208.8……Epic failure. I finished the banana nut bread. Bathroom remodel starts today which will make cooking difficult. I must be creative in my eating choices and be willing to cook later when I am so tired. I am still working on carpets. It will be awhile before I can breathe easy.
Day 41 – 02/04 …..xxxxx…… Woke up running and actually forgot to weigh.
Day 42 – 02/05 …..208.6….. Okay, let’s try this again!
Day 43 – 02/06 …..207.2….. I can’t quite pat myself on the back. The day ended in lower calorie overall but the choices of quick frozen food was questionable. Not very healthy.
Day 44 – 02/07 …..207.7….. Pizza with DD and DGS which is a rare occasion these days, especially with the pandemic. No formal exercise except chasing the 3 yr old up & down the stairs most of the evening! Back on track today.
Day 45 – 02/08 …..207.4….. Better.
Day 46 – 02/09 …..206.6….. I am expecting a high-sodium dinner so I am being extra careful today and will be drinking plenty of water.
Day 47 – 02/10 …..207.2….. Hello Sodium! Traveling today too. Oh boy!
Day 48 – 02/11 …..206.8….. Nearly ½ pound down after travel? I’m suspicious this is going to sneak up on me tomorrow since it hid today. We shall see. Keeping the faith…..
Day 49 – 02/12 …..206.0….. Didn’t expect to see lower today honestly. Lots of water shed yesterday. Maybe I’ve lost that high sodium day.
Day 50 – 02/13 …..206.0….. I am grateful for no change. I ate great healthy meals yesterday and then binged on snacks. And I do mean BINGE!!!!! I will be extra careful today to help make up for my bad choices last night.
Day 51 – 02/14 …..206.4….. I have gained exactly 1 pound since the start of this challenge. Very disappointed! I did an experiment. I added up all the weight loss from day-to-day since Jan 1, 2020 to see how much weight I had lost because I knew I was losing the same pounds over and over. I have lost 103.8 pounds! However, my scale is showing a gain of 12.4 lbs during the same timeframe. Talk about self-sabotage! Something has to change!
Day 52 – 02/15 …..208.8….. One meal yesterday. This is frustrating and very unfair.
Day 53 – 02/16 …..207.2….. Weight coming back down. Grateful where I can be.
Day 54 – 02/17 …..204.6….. Sodium likely gone. Great food choices yesterday. No exercise due to work crew. They are here again today.
Day 55 – 02/18 …..204.4….. Very little sleep and some late night hunger so I am happy for this small drop on the scale.
Day 56 – 02/19 …..204.8….. Good diet yesterday but very very little movement. On the computer most of the day with tax prep. Today is day 3 with no TMI so I think that contributes. Still no word of vaccine in my little town. They are still on the very first group here – Group 1A for medical personnel. We don’t have many medical personnel in our town so it is a lack of the vaccine itself. I just want to get this over with! I am group 1C due to diabetes and cancer remission.
Day 57 – 02/20 …..205.0…..
Day 58 – 02/21 …..205.0….. Grateful to have the same numbers glaring at me from the scale. My calories were okay yesterday but OMGosh on the choices I made. Horrid, Horrid little girl I was! Absolutely nothing fueling or replenishing about what I stuck in my pie-hole. That makes me feel gluttonous and (almost) childlike. I was a limited thinker yesterday. Today I will ponder before I put my greedy little fingers upon anything!
Day 59 – 02/22 …..207.2….. I had a bowl of ice cream instead of lunch. I guess my body knows the difference and punished me. Nutrition matters.
Day 60 – 02/23 …..207.2…… I refuse to spend 100 days making more better choices than not, move movement than not, more sacrifices than not and end up in a higher weight than when I started! I am expecting Chinese tonight (and leftovers tomorrow) for dinner. Pushing water. Skipping lunch. Diet alone isn’t doing it though. I need more movement and there is absolutely zero privacy here during this remodel. (And more remodeling coming.) I’m so tired at night but I have to fit something in!
Day 61 – 02/24 .….207.5…… Chinese leftovers today so I don’t expect to see anything very nice or friendly on the scale tomorrow.
Day 62 – 02/25 …..207.5…… Thankful that the leftovers didn’t kill my scales or my spirit. Using the stairs………..
Day 63 – 02/26 …..207.2…… Yay, I put that Chinese behind me (which was a tasty treat) and had a low calorie dinner yesterday. I walked the steps but found I could only do it once at a time (very steep and I am out of shape). That is okay because I can just do it more often and build up my strength. Love the idea!
Day 64 – 02/27 …..207.6…… Frustrated. It was the homemade sour dough bread from the Amish with butter. I should not have went back for that 2nd piece later last night. Extra stairs today!
Day 65 – 02/28 …..207.0…… Although this was a nice overnight drop, I am up 1.6 lbs since the start of this challenge. My main goal now is just to get back to starting weight by the end. It sounds easy, but based on my stats, it won’t be. Focusing on this shorter term goal at this point may help.
Weight Loss in February……………….. 0.6 Loss
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb GAIN
Day 66 – 03/01 …..206.6…… Hopeful I’ll stay smart & ready as each day comes. I fit in 20 minutes of dancing last night when I got a burst of energy. It put my steps over 11,000. So grateful!
Day 67 – 03/02 …..207.4…… Bouncy Bounce. Snacks with milk. Why can’t I be like a normal person and have a snack with a glass of milk and not balloon up so much? Gosh I miss being in my 20’s
Day 68 – 03/03 …..207.0…… Better and very pleased because I did end up traveling yesterday afternoon until later last night. I needed a Home Depot for some returns and some remodel shopping. The crew took the day off for some personal business so my son & I took care of our business. I steered clear of Chinese because I struggled all last week over one dinner. Instead I opted for my son’s pick….Applebees. I tried something new, the prime rib sandwich. I also had 4 boneless honey-BBQ wings. I left the fries on the plate and drank water with lemon. Sandwich was delicious. So glad I kept my cool. Down nearly half of a pound when traveling is a record for me!
Day 69 – 03/04 …..208.4…… Maybe that travel/restaurant lunch caught up with me afterall. I dunno. I also had a SEVERE glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I haven’t made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable. I am not off to a very good start on my search for Onederland. But it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. #fightingthegoodfight.
Day 70 – 03/05 …..208.4…… Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesn’t want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.
Day 71 – 03/06 …..208.4…… Traveled to attorney appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my will, trust, power-of-attorney and advanced directive. Now I have some homework to do before my next appointment on March 17th. I had lunch at a restaurant in that town. I ate half and boxed the rest up for my dinner. I kept it reasonable but my snacks late last night are something I’m not too proud of. Glucose stayed steady probably because of the snacks. I hope to keep today better and that the meal out does not show up in a day or two on the scale.
Day 72 – 03/07 …..207.6……Yay! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am, especially after travel! Today will be takeout pizza. No, I am not self-sabotaging (this time). After the work crew leaves today, I will be having takeout with my children as we hold a family meeting in regards to my Will & Trust. It will be a difficult evening so I am already stressing and I didn’t sleep well last night. I will try to keep portion reasonable and get in some pacing steps & stairs today while the work crew are here.
Day 73 – 03/08 …..208.2…… Pizza straight to the hips! I will be better today.
Day 74 – 03/09 …..206.8…… Meals light. Snacks…..Meh. I can do better!
Day 75 – 03/10 …..204.8…… What a shock on the scale! I actually had another drunken sugar drop last night which woke me up from sleeping at 4:30 am. This is quite surprising because there is this time period during the night, (it has a name bug my cancer brain fog is preventing me from remembering it) when a T2D has a pretty big raise in their glucose numbers at night. So walking up to such a drop was uncharacteristic. I dealt with it with a pop tart and milk and felt pretty good pretty quickly. Of course, I thought that would ruin my weigh-in this morning and I was quite surprised to not see a bad affect on the scale. I’ll remain grateful today and try to run with the ball. I will be traveling later this week, perhaps Friday, for more building supplies. I am going to try to save up some calories and stay reasonable like I have the past couple of trips.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 72: Sun, 3/7: 206.4 Walked 2.3 miles, 1349 cal, 56 net carbs, 1 glass wine. DD & her husband stopped in to help with decisions for their 1 year anniversary party and stayed for dinner of andouille sausage stuffed pork loin, purple hull peas and roasted broccoli.
Day 73: Mon, 3/8: 206.8 Walked 3.1 miles, gardening, 1900 cal, 127 net carbs, 1.5 glasses wine. Love leftovers day when the last couple evenings have been yummy! Indulging in ice cream 2x = more carbs. Today I'm shopping with my daughter for her outfit for the 1 year anniversary party ... and my own as well. It will be interesting going into stores and trying on clothes.
Day 74: Tues, 3/9: 207 Walked 1.2 miles after shopping 16300 steps, food journal incomplete, 1 glass wine.
Day 75: Wed, 3/10: 207.1 Walked 1.1 miles, food journal incomplete, 4 glasses wine.
Day 76: Thurs, 3/11: 207.7 Walked 2.9 miles, food journal incomplete, 1 glass wine. TODAY IS THE DAY … I get back into focusing on me and quit stressing about everything else. Goals: Low carb, 80oz water, AF, NO ice cream or choc, and journal everything.

12th Week Actual Weight:
Completely lost it this week ... the stress of shopping Monday and then the planning for the anniversary party took over my life. Very little walking the dog, very little meal planning, and lots of stress eating & drinking. See if I can turn it around starting Thursday!2 -

Female, Age 60, 5'2"
MFP Start Weight Oct 28.18: 191.0
Ultimate Goal Weight: Not sure
This is my 5th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.Day 1: 12/26: 137.7 - Extremely active day, but also ate quite a bit. 451 calories left over in the Green
Day 2: 12/27: 137.1 - I have enough leftovers for a few days, stuffing and gravy is my weakness so I will load my plate with veggies and turkey and stretch out the badder stuff : - ) 561 in the Green
Day 3: 12/28: 137.7 - I was awake throughout the night and weighed less just now, but am using my very early morning weight. 717 in the Green
Day 4: 12/29: 137.2 - Back on track at least until NYE. 302 in the Green
Day 5: 12/30: 137.5 - Hiccup yesterday, some sad news and went off a bit. 791 in the Green
Day 6: 12/31: 138.3 - That is the highest that I have weighed in awhile. Not going to overdo it tonight, but I will have some Champagne and something delicious to eat. 384 in the Green
Day 7: 01/01: 138.4 - I had Ribs, it might catch up more. I have had lots of activity, but also ate more than usual. 111 in the Green
Day 8: 01/02: 137.2 - Now to get rid of the holiday eating. 624 in the Green
2nd Week Goal Weight:

Excess Calories left over in the Green: 3490 - So close to a pound worth
Day 9: Sun, 1/3: 136.1 - A bunch of water loss yesterday. I remained very active throughout the holidays even though I upped my consumption. Very happy to see this number, it motivates me. 417 in the Green
Day 10: Mon, 1/4: 135.9 - Going to do my measurements today. an astounding 1278 in the Green
Day 11: Tues, 1/5: 135.4 - Many workouts yesterday, and back to healthier eating. A scale drop always motivates me to be "good". We all fight so hard for each pound, too easy to backslide and undo the hard work. 1354 in the Green
Day 12: Wed, 1/6: 135.5 - Very long work day and a very late dinner. Burned lots of calories and didn't eat them back, hoping that shows up in a day or two. 1190 in the Green
Day 13: Thurs, 1/7: 134.8 - New low : - ) All of this calorie burning is showing up on the scale. Work alone was 20,000 steps yesterday on top of my daily workout. 506 in the Green
Day 14: Fri, 1/8: 134.1 - Lowest so far in many many years. Hoping to keep this going. 620 in the Green
Day 15: Sat, 1/9: 135.1 - Kind of bad choices yesterday, but I touched that 134.1 once so I know that I can get back there. 721 in the Green
3rd Week Goal Weight: 135.1
3rd Week Actual Weight: 135.1
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 6086, should have lost more than a pound, and did.
Week 4:
Day 16: 1/10: 137.4 - Wow, almost back up to Day 1 weight for some reason. Hoping that this is just a fluctuation. I have been on track except for Friday (which obviously caught up to me just now), but even then I was under calorie goals due to activity. 831 in the Green
Day 17: 1/11: 137.4 - Got in lots of activity yesterday because I was planning on a huge steak and prawns for dinner. This will fuel my body for days to come, but I want to get this number back down. 663 in the Green
Day 18: 1/12: 136.1 - Better, still 1 pound up from last week. 668 in the Green
Day 19: 1/13: 136.5 - I'm okay with this, but hope to get closer to last week's EW. 558 in the Green
Day 20: 1/14: 135.8 - Sticking with the plan. Hoping to be able to leave work and get up to another town's arena for a 1 hour public skate today. 827 in the Green
Day 21: 1/15: 136.7 - Loads of activity yesterday, but .. Nachos. 410 in the Green
Day 22: 1/16: 136.5 - So it looks like I lost 1 pound in a month. 452 in the Green
4th Week Goal Weight: 134.4
4th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 3778 - just enough to lose a pound
Day 23: Sun, 1/17: 137.3 - Ouch, apparently still paying for Friday's nachos. 999 in the Green
Day 24: Mon, 1/18: - 135.8 - Much better. Now to get back to week 2's weights. 705 in the Green
Day 25: Tues, 1/19: - 135.6 - Got in a few extra Fitness Marshall songs here and there 2 or 3 at a time throughout the day yesterday which added up to a nice calorie burn (and mood lifter) overall. 539 in the Green
Day 26: Wed, 1/20: - 135.5 - I have moved all of my jobs from today to tomorrow. I am going to get out for a nice long walk/hike. Yesterday was incredibly windy with dust blowing everywhere when I tried to leave work for a small walk/break so I didn't spend any time outdoors. I had my 2 year physical early in the morning. Doc was pleased with my weight loss, but still needs me to lose more to bring my blood pressure further down and get me to a healthy body weight for my height. Working on it. Very slow. 526 in the Green
Day 27: Thurs, 1/21: 135.4 - Always happy to see a drop even if tiny. 368 in the Green

Day 30: Sun, 1/24: 138.1 - Argh. Wings last night must have been the culprit. I wasn't over my calories though. 1060 in the Green
Day 31: Mon, 1/25: 138.3 - Sodium? Lots of activity yesterday, I feel like the weight will drop back down over the next few days. 762 in the Green
Day 32: Tues, 1/26: 135.3 - Maybe just being so banged up was causing my body to hold on to weight? Very happy to see this. 703 in the Green
Day 33: Wed, 1/27: 135.2 - Very busy work week, prepping my meals ahead of time so that I don't grab something "bad". 799 in the Green
Day 34: Thurs, 1/28: - 135.2 - Worked a super long day yesterday, I didn't get home until after midnight, but had to eat because I hadn't had anything since the morning. I thought that my weight would reflect the late eating and tiny amount of sleep. Glad that it didn't. 653 in the Green
Day 35: Fri, 1/29: - 135.5 - Looming end of week weigh in always motivates me to be "good" : - ) 844 in the Green
Day 36: Sat, 1/30: 134.8 - Going to try not to blow it today. 440 in the Green
6th Week Goal Weight: 134.5
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.8 - Close
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 5261- enough to lose a pound
Day 37: Sun, 1/31: 136.9 - Ouch and TMI - 907 in the Green
Day 38: Mon, 2/1: 137.5 - Another TMI uptick, expecting a woosh over the next few days. 562 in the Green
Day 39: Tues, 2/2: 137.1 - Can't say that I am not disappointed to be so close to my start weight 39 days ago. Mind you I haven't been out on my trail walks in well over a week so that is probably making a difference (melting here, so water on top of ice, not going) 729 in the Green
Day 40: Wed, 2/3: 135.9 - I touched the 134.1 in the last 100, but I was outside lots. Missing the trails indeed. 577 in the Green
Day 41: Thurs, 2/4: 136.3 - MFP has been suggesting the 120s for 4 months now (if every day was like today) but it still feels far off. 966 in the Green
Day 42: Fri, 2/5: 134.8 - So much better. I got out of the Obese Zone in September, working towards getting out of the Overweight Zone some day.
Day 43: Sat: 2/6: 135.8 - Oh well, I will keep working at it. 678 in the Green
7th Week Goal Weight: 134.9
7th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 4949 - More than enough to lose a pound.
Day 44: Sun, 2/7: 136.1 - Like a yo-yo. 193 in the Green
Day 45: Mon, 2/8: 137.5 - Superbowl no-nos yesterday. 915 in the Green
Day 46: Tues, 2/9: 137.2 - Working hard to get it back down. 862 in the Green
Day 47: Wed, 2/10: 134.4 - Whew. Too hard fought to blow it. 489 in the Green
Day 48: Thurs, 2/11: 134.2 - 383 in the Green
Day 49: Fri, 2/12: 134.3 - I got to skate yesterday. I burned a lot of calories between that, workouts, and pedometer (1198) but ate more too. Going to eat light today. 661 in the Green
Day 50: Sat, 2/13: 135.5 - Argh, no reason for a gain today after 3 days in the "4s". 817 in the Green
8th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I just keep plugging in these goal numbers, I hit this number in week 2. Either wishful thinking or something to work towards.
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.5 - I actually was on a good track to make my goal.
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 4320 - enough to lose a pound
Day 51: Sun, 2/14: 135.6 - Hoping that the weather goes back to "normal" soon, outdoor activity tends to lose me more weight than indoor for some reason. Perhaps it is a chemical that only gets produced outside? 1144 calories in the Red.
Day 52: Mon, 2/15: 136.3 - This will go up more, I had Ribs yesterday, so this choice will lead to the expected results. Glad that I stop myself from having them once per week like I used to. MFP says that I would be 144 pounds in 5 weeks if every day were like that. I have to keep with the calorie intake/burn in which MFP says that I will be 123 in 5 weeks if I eat like that every day. I had an entire day of calories extra yesterday, that will take a while to undo. I will work out extra today and eat frequently and light to try to mitigate it. 841 in the Green
Day 53: Tues, 2/16: 135.3 - That is the quickest that I have bounced back from Ribs. It was a holiday yesterday though, so I had time for lots of workouts. Or maybe my body went into fat burning overdrive from the excessive calories the day before. 725 in the Green
Day 54: Wed, 2/17: 134.8 - I have been working out and eating well since the Ribs. I have now made up for that day in the "Red" and am moving forward. Once in awhile "treat" takes a while to get back off. 717 in the Green
Day 55: Thurs, 2/18: 134.4 - Worried about our friends in Texas with this climate change weather whip. 911 in the Green
Day 56: Fri, 2/19: 133.3 - New low. I have been working my tail off this entire week to try to mitigate my overage from Ribs consumption. I have a nice steak and prawns for tonight's dinner, so will definitely need to get a bunch of activity in before that. 493 in the Green
Day 57: Sat, 2/20: 133.5 - Not too bad after my huge bacon wrapped beef tenderloin steak last night. Pizza and drinks tonight though...138 in the Green
9th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I guess that I will just keep plugging this number in until I hit it again. Hit it in week 2, so maybe this week if I can stay "good".
9th Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 2681 - Not enough to lose a pound, but I had excess of that every other week so lost some weight
Day 58: Sun, 2/21: 136.0 - Pizza, beer, and copious amounts of water after from the salty bacon/ham and stuff pizza yesterday. I will get lots of activity in today. 965 in the Green
Day 59: Mon, 2/22: 136.9 - I really feel like this is temporary, I expected to see a drop this morning. 1007 in the Green
Day 60: Tues, 2/23: 136.6 - Very active yesterday, had hoped to see a drop. Maybe tomorrow. 258 in the Green
Day 61: Wed, 2/24: 135.5 - Meal prep is done. Going to get a bunch of small workouts in today here and there. 997 in the Green
Day 62: Thurs, 2/25: 135.1 - 2 more weigh days left of this week.
Day 63: Fri, 2/26: 135.1- Got up to another town for a public skating time slot yesterday. Hoping to see a nice number tomorrow. 956 in the Green
Day 64: Sat, 2/27: 135.2 - I'm okay with this. 242 in the Green
10th Week Goal Weight: 133.9 - seems ambitious, but after hitting 133.3 I feel like I can achieve it.
10th Week Actual Weight: 135.2
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 5332, more than enough to lose a pound.
Day 65: Sun, 2/28: DNW - up during the night, water, coffee, breakfast already consumed. 633 in the Green
Day 66: Mon, 3/1: 136.0 - I will get on top of that. It takes 3 days for "bad" foods to show up on my scale. 653 in the Green.
Day 67: Tues, 3/2: 135.0 - Okay, back close to last week's weights. I am going to try to stay "good" the rest of this week. 502 in the Green
Day 68: Wed, 3/3: 133.0 - Super pleased to see this number again finally. 958 in the Green
Day 69: Thurs, 3/4: 132.2 - Are all of those weeks when I had more than enough excess calories left over to "lose a pound" finally catching up? Pretty darned happy with this new low. 46 in the Green
Day 70: Fri, 3/5: 134.1 - So easy to put it on, hard to get it off. Food choices weren't great yesterday. MFP went from saying 121 in 5 weeks to 133 in 5 weeks. Groan. 620 in the Green
Day 71: Sat, 3/6: 134.9 - Had lots of activity yesterday and today will be ice skating. Expected a lower number today, maybe tomorrow. 634 in the Green
11th Week Goal Weight: 134.0
11th Week Actual Weight: 134.9
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 4046 - enough to lose a pound.
Day 72: Sun, 3/7: 133.8 - Day off, I will up my activity and prep meals for the week. 813 in the Green
Day 73: Mon, 3/8: 134.7 - Saturday's food choices kicking in? 628 in the Green
Day 74: Tues, 3/9: 134.7 - Expected a drop this morning, but nope. 1119 in the Green
Day 75: Wed, 3/10: 133.3 - My calorie burn was through the roof yesterday, because on top of my regular workouts and walking I got a very good ice skate in which burns a ton. 883 in the Green
Day 76: Thurs, 3/11: 133.4 - Only 23 days left of this 100!!
Day 77: Fri, 3/12:
Day 78: Sat, 3/13:

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ December 26, 2020 thru April 4, 2021
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
Day 01 – 12/26 …..205.4…..My family Christmas dinner is on Sunday (tomorrow). I expect to see an increase. Good luck everyone this round.
Day 02 – 12/27 …..203.2…..A nice big Whoosh. I cut back yesterday in anticipation for my very large Christmas Dinner and party today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow, but I will be a good girl in the days following.
Day 03 – 12/28 …..205.2…..Dinner was salty and fatty but delicious. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Day 04[/ b] – 12/29 …..206.0….. It had to be the over-abundance of wine. Perhaps dinner catching up a little with me too from 2 days ago?
Day 05 - 12/30 …..206.0….. Poured out the wine and chose Chinese instead. Gave away the last of the goodies too. I will have the other half of the Chinese today.
Day 06 – 12/31 …..207.0….. Expecting alcohol tonight but I will keep the food in check! Had the last of the Chinese food yesterday.
Weight Loss in December……………….. 1.6 lb GAIN.
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 LB GAIN
Day 07 – 01/01 …..207.8….. Ouch! Chinese catching up? My late December Christmas dinner showing up? Perhaps. But then there were the buckeye balls brought over yesterday. The rest will go to my grandchildren that are visiting today.
Day 08 – 01/02 …..208.1….. Travel today and tomorrow.
Day 09 – 01/03 …..207.1….. Not sure I understand the fluctuations. It should have been yesterdays higher number or even higher after travel and restaurant food. Likely water retention released? More travel today.
Day 10 – 01/04 …..207.4.….. Travel day cancelled yesterday. That allowed me to reach my 10,000 steps. However, my dinner wasn’t until 3:30 a.m. so that did not help the 9:00 a.m. weigh-in.
Day 11 – 01/05 …..207.0….. I will have lots of company today as I’ve called in the troops to help me un-decorate and store my Christmas décor. I’m not sure how my meals will go – probably a very late dinner again, but I will get in lots of movement I hope.
Day 12 – 01/06 …..207.2…..A normal fluctuation. Worked on taking down my Christmas stuff today with the help of one of my handymen. A long day.
Day 13 – 01/07 …..207.2….. Drank milk. It always bloats me. Meals were good.
Day 14 – 01/08 …..207.0….. Better portion control. @dawnbgethealthy WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! YOU ARE SLAYING IT!!!!
Day 15 – 01/09 …..208.6….. Well-planned meals but milk seems to bloat me and kill my progress. I’m going back to a small amount of Fairlife. No more real milk, even when it’s lowfat!!!!
Day 16 – 01/10 …..208.6….. Kept calories good again yesterday and avoided milk. Meals very late as a friend stopped by without notice until 11:00 p.m. That may explain it along with no TMI x 2 days now. My big worry coming up is the remodel we will likely be starting later this week in one of the bathrooms. It is friends and family helping and my meals will be interrupted greatly forcing late meals on the regular. It will be too many to feed and I just can’t eat in front of anyone. There will be many projects this year. I’ve got to figure it all out.
Day 17 - 01/11 …..207.0….. Whoosh. Bathroom duty was better. A wretched night last night filled with personal family turmoil. Bad sleep. Traveled today while so unrested, so we will see what tomorrow holds.
Day 18 – 01/12 …..207.0….. I am very happy to see no gain after travel. I chalk it up to falling asleep early causing all my meals to be earlier. However, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later so I will be watching and tracking the patterns.
Day 19 – 01/13 …..207.2….. A tiny fluctuation. I managed to increase my steps yesterday but I had to work for it. I added a two mile indoor walk to get me over the hump.
Day 20 – 01/14 …..207.0….. Movie night last night. A very good low cal/low carb planned dinner but the snacks were off-target. I’ll eat better today but not much movement. Feeling tired…..
Day 21 – 01/15 …..xxxxx….. No chance to weigh today. A friend woke me up banging on door. Yesterday was good but last night I had too many bad snacks.
Day 22 – 01/16 …..207.0….. A complete rest day yesterday. In bed at 6:45 pm to watch TV until 3:00 am. Slept in this morning to get more sleep than I’ve gotten in months. Over 6 hours which is AMAZING for me. I usually just don’t seem to need more than about 4.5 hours. Maybe retirement will change my sleeping patterns for the better! Going for a 6 for tomorrow’s numbers!
Day 23 – 01/17 …..206.8…..Finally a 6! Barely, but finally!
Day 24 – 01/18 …..206.2….. 3 meals instead of 2 yesterday but no snacks. Finally TMI (bathroom duty). It helped. Now I am going to push for a 5.
Day 25 – 01/19 …..205.6…..Yay! The meals still aren’t perfect but I am focusing on at least a 12/12 IF and a “very diet” dinner in a small quantity. I am still eating very late, but better. Focusing on sleep. Phone woke me up at 5 hours & 5 minutes today. I forgot to mute it. Still better than usual but I would have slept a bit more otherwise. I feel my body fighting me a bit. I woke up starving. I am listening to the cues. I had a bit of an early breakfast. I will keep my dinner light.
Day 26 – 01/20 …..205.2….. Moving right along and hoping to keep it up! This puts me back to just below my starting weight. Now, to get busy!
Day 27 – 01/21 …..205.4….. Just a small fluctuation. Yesterday was pretty busy. Ended up with OMAD and low calorie but not much exercise or movement. Lots of water though! I am still feeling happy and strong!
Day 28 – 01/22 …..205.2…..
Day 29 – 01/23 …..206.2….. I cooked a beautiful low calorie and low carb meal for my friend yesterday. Day was going great. Then……late night snack monster reared his ugly head. Pop-tarts and milk. It wasn’t worth a full pound gain by any stretch of the imagination. I will try to extra-tweak today to make up for it so that pound doesn’t stick around.
Day 30 – 01/24 …..208.2….. This is not the way to get to Onederland. It’s not even the scenic route. Turning this train around so I can go in the right direction. Lost my way.
Day 31 – 01/25 …..207.0….. I wish I could take credit for doing something wildly healthier and different but I can’t. Scale shot up yesterday more than expected and shot down today more than expected. Strange. I seriously don’t think, based on what I ate, that it was fluid retention so I am baffled but happy this morning to see a bit of a correction.
Day 32 – 01/26 …..206.6….. I hope to make better choices today.
Day 33 – 01/27 …..207.6….. I need potty duty and more exercise, both of which is proving impossible.
Day 34 – 01/28 …..207.0….. Better….
Day 35 – 01/29 …..207.6….. Back down on hands and knees scrubbing carpets in my new home. Previous owners were extremely heavy smokers and very old so the entire house (all 3 floors) has not been thoroughally cleaned in YEARS! One room has blue carpet which appeared to be 100% completely green until I hand cleaned it then went over with shampooer. Doing around the edges where the shampooer struggles to reach is the hardest but I’m getting it done. With the process I’m using, each room takes 6 days so this will be going on for months. It is my winter project because spring holds so many things to be done! So I am burning the calories, for sure, but not getting in many actual steps. I just hope for continued progress in my journey as well as in my home.
Day 36 – 01/30 …..206.4….. The last of the chinese food today.
Day 37 – 01/31 …..207.6….. Hello Chinese Food aftermath. I guess I deserve this.
Weight Loss in January……………….. 0.6 GAIN (from the December 31st weight)
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.4 GAIN
Day 38 – 02/01 …..207.6….. No change yet. Staying hopeful.
Day 39 – 02/02 …..207.6….. Banana nut bread snack. That gets you nowhere.
Day 40 – 02/03 …..208.8……Epic failure. I finished the banana nut bread. Bathroom remodel starts today which will make cooking difficult. I must be creative in my eating choices and be willing to cook later when I am so tired. I am still working on carpets. It will be awhile before I can breathe easy.
Day 41 – 02/04 …..xxxxx…… Woke up running and actually forgot to weigh.
Day 42 – 02/05 …..208.6….. Okay, let’s try this again!
Day 43 – 02/06 …..207.2….. I can’t quite pat myself on the back. The day ended in lower calorie overall but the choices of quick frozen food was questionable. Not very healthy.
Day 44 – 02/07 …..207.7….. Pizza with DD and DGS which is a rare occasion these days, especially with the pandemic. No formal exercise except chasing the 3 yr old up & down the stairs most of the evening! Back on track today.
Day 45 – 02/08 …..207.4….. Better.
Day 46 – 02/09 …..206.6….. I am expecting a high-sodium dinner so I am being extra careful today and will be drinking plenty of water.
Day 47 – 02/10 …..207.2….. Hello Sodium! Traveling today too. Oh boy!
Day 48 – 02/11 …..206.8….. Nearly ½ pound down after travel? I’m suspicious this is going to sneak up on me tomorrow since it hid today. We shall see. Keeping the faith…..
Day 49 – 02/12 …..206.0….. Didn’t expect to see lower today honestly. Lots of water shed yesterday. Maybe I’ve lost that high sodium day.
Day 50 – 02/13 …..206.0….. I am grateful for no change. I ate great healthy meals yesterday and then binged on snacks. And I do mean BINGE!!!!! I will be extra careful today to help make up for my bad choices last night.
Day 51 – 02/14 …..206.4….. I have gained exactly 1 pound since the start of this challenge. Very disappointed! I did an experiment. I added up all the weight loss from day-to-day since Jan 1, 2020 to see how much weight I had lost because I knew I was losing the same pounds over and over. I have lost 103.8 pounds! However, my scale is showing a gain of 12.4 lbs during the same timeframe. Talk about self-sabotage! Something has to change!
Day 52 – 02/15 …..208.8….. One meal yesterday. This is frustrating and very unfair.
Day 53 – 02/16 …..207.2….. Weight coming back down. Grateful where I can be.
Day 54 – 02/17 …..204.6….. Sodium likely gone. Great food choices yesterday. No exercise due to work crew. They are here again today.
Day 55 – 02/18 …..204.4….. Very little sleep and some late night hunger so I am happy for this small drop on the scale.
Day 56 – 02/19 …..204.8….. Good diet yesterday but very very little movement. On the computer most of the day with tax prep. Today is day 3 with no TMI so I think that contributes. Still no word of vaccine in my little town. They are still on the very first group here – Group 1A for medical personnel. We don’t have many medical personnel in our town so it is a lack of the vaccine itself. I just want to get this over with! I am group 1C due to diabetes and cancer remission.
Day 57 – 02/20 …..205.0…..
Day 58 – 02/21 …..205.0….. Grateful to have the same numbers glaring at me from the scale. My calories were okay yesterday but OMGosh on the choices I made. Horrid, Horrid little girl I was! Absolutely nothing fueling or replenishing about what I stuck in my pie-hole. That makes me feel gluttonous and (almost) childlike. I was a limited thinker yesterday. Today I will ponder before I put my greedy little fingers upon anything!
Day 59 – 02/22 …..207.2….. I had a bowl of ice cream instead of lunch. I guess my body knows the difference and punished me. Nutrition matters.
Day 60 – 02/23 …..207.2…… I refuse to spend 100 days making more better choices than not, move movement than not, more sacrifices than not and end up in a higher weight than when I started! I am expecting Chinese tonight (and leftovers tomorrow) for dinner. Pushing water. Skipping lunch. Diet alone isn’t doing it though. I need more movement and there is absolutely zero privacy here during this remodel. (And more remodeling coming.) I’m so tired at night but I have to fit something in!
Day 61 – 02/24 .….207.5…… Chinese leftovers today so I don’t expect to see anything very nice or friendly on the scale tomorrow.
Day 62 – 02/25 …..207.5…… Thankful that the leftovers didn’t kill my scales or my spirit. Using the stairs………..
Day 63 – 02/26 …..207.2…… Yay, I put that Chinese behind me (which was a tasty treat) and had a low calorie dinner yesterday. I walked the steps but found I could only do it once at a time (very steep and I am out of shape). That is okay because I can just do it more often and build up my strength. Love the idea!
Day 64 – 02/27 …..207.6…… Frustrated. It was the homemade sour dough bread from the Amish with butter. I should not have went back for that 2nd piece later last night. Extra stairs today!
Day 65 – 02/28 …..207.0…… Although this was a nice overnight drop, I am up 1.6 lbs since the start of this challenge. My main goal now is just to get back to starting weight by the end. It sounds easy, but based on my stats, it won’t be. Focusing on this shorter term goal at this point may help.
Weight Loss in February……………….. 0.6 Loss
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb GAIN
Day 66 – 03/01 …..206.6…… Hopeful I’ll stay smart & ready as each day comes. I fit in 20 minutes of dancing last night when I got a burst of energy. It put my steps over 11,000. So grateful!
Day 67 – 03/02 …..207.4…… Bouncy Bounce. Snacks with milk. Why can’t I be like a normal person and have a snack with a glass of milk and not balloon up so much? Gosh I miss being in my 20’s
Day 68 – 03/03 …..207.0…… Better and very pleased because I did end up traveling yesterday afternoon until later last night. I needed a Home Depot for some returns and some remodel shopping. The crew took the day off for some personal business so my son & I took care of our business. I steered clear of Chinese because I struggled all last week over one dinner. Instead I opted for my son’s pick….Applebees. I tried something new, the prime rib sandwich. I also had 4 boneless honey-BBQ wings. I left the fries on the plate and drank water with lemon. Sandwich was delicious. So glad I kept my cool. Down nearly half of a pound when traveling is a record for me!
Day 69 – 03/04 …..208.4…… Maybe that travel/restaurant lunch caught up with me afterall. I dunno. I also had a SEVERE glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I haven’t made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable. I am not off to a very good start on my search for Onederland. But it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. #fightingthegoodfight.
Day 70 – 03/05 …..208.4…… Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesn’t want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.
Day 71 – 03/06 …..208.4…… Traveled to attorney appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my will, trust, power-of-attorney and advanced directive. Now I have some homework to do before my next appointment on March 17th. I had lunch at a restaurant in that town. I ate half and boxed the rest up for my dinner. I kept it reasonable but my snacks late last night are something I’m not too proud of. Glucose stayed steady probably because of the snacks. I hope to keep today better and that the meal out does not show up in a day or two on the scale.
Day 72 – 03/07 …..207.6……Yay! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am, especially after travel! Today will be takeout pizza. No, I am not self-sabotaging (this time). After the work crew leaves today, I will be having takeout with my children as we hold a family meeting in regards to my Will & Trust. It will be a difficult evening so I am already stressing and I didn’t sleep well last night. I will try to keep portion reasonable and get in some pacing steps & stairs today while the work crew are here.
Day 73 – 03/08 …..208.2…… Pizza straight to the hips! I will be better today.
Day 74 – 03/09 …..206.8…… Meals light. Snacks…..Meh. I can do better!
Day 75 – 03/10 …..204.8…… What a shock on the scale! I actually had another drunken sugar drop last night which woke me up from sleeping at 4:30 am. This is quite surprising because there is this time period during the night, (it has a name bug my cancer brain fog is preventing me from remembering it) when a T2D has a pretty big raise in their glucose numbers at night. So walking up to such a drop was uncharacteristic. I dealt with it with a pop tart and milk and felt pretty good pretty quickly. Of course, I thought that would ruin my weigh-in this morning and I was quite surprised to not see a bad affect on the scale. I’ll remain grateful today and try to run with the ball. I will be traveling later this week, perhaps Friday, for more building supplies. I am going to try to save up some calories and stay reasonable like I have the past couple of trips.
Day 76 – 03/11 …..206.2…… Two pounds overnight I suppose was not realistic and my body adjusted. Still down 0.6 from 2 days ago. TMI would help but daily is not a regular thing for me so this probably affected the scale today too. I had a good day yesterday with meals and I increased my steps. Happy overall to be seeing a downward trend. I’ve just got to keep fighting the good fight, like everyone else!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 72: Sun, 3/7: 206.4 Walked 2.3 miles, 1349 cal, 56 net carbs, 1 glass wine. DD & her husband stopped in to help with decisions for their 1 year anniversary party and stayed for dinner of andouille sausage stuffed pork loin, purple hull peas and roasted broccoli.
Day 73: Mon, 3/8: 206.8 Walked 3.1 miles, gardening, 1900 cal, 127 net carbs, 1.5 glasses wine. Love leftovers day when the last couple evenings have been yummy! Indulging in ice cream 2x = more carbs. Today I'm shopping with my daughter for her outfit for the 1 year anniversary party ... and my own as well. It will be interesting going into stores and trying on clothes.
Day 74: Tues, 3/9: 207 Walked 1.2 miles after shopping 16300 steps, food journal incomplete, 1 glass wine.
Day 75: Wed, 3/10: 207.1 Walked 1.1 miles, food journal incomplete, 4 glasses wine.
Day 76: Thurs, 3/11: 207.7 Walked 2.9 miles, food journal incomplete, 1 glass wine. TODAY IS THE DAY … I get back into focusing on me and quit stressing about everything else. Goals: Low carb, 80oz water, AF, NO ice cream or choc, and journal everything.
Completely lost it this week ... the stress of shopping Monday and then the planning for the anniversary party took over my life. Very little walking the dog, very little meal planning, and lots of stress eating & drinking. See if I can turn it around starting Thursday!
STOP: Refocus
Day 77: Fri, 3/12: 207.3 Walked 3.3 + .5 + 1 miles, 1574 cal, 22 net carbs, 1.5 glasses wine. Met with financial advisor about retirement strategies, gardened, and walked! Success but decided to give in to wine to go with steak dinner.
Day 78: Sat, 3/13:
12th Week Goal Weight: S-T-R-E-T-C-H again for 205
12th Week Actual Weight:
Losing the battle but not the war against weight loss. Did much better yesterday eating wise and drank more water ... plus forced myself to get out and walk in the morning which does help kick the day off in the right direction.
Financial Planner reviewed and strategized with us yesterday to verify what we've been doing since we still manage our own accts. His view was much like ours ... DH can retire at the end of this year if he wishes. Working 5 more years 60->65 will not make that much difference in our financial situation when we are 95. So we will see how we decide to play things out.
In the mean time ... if I can lose and get my weight down out of the obesity range it will help with medical insurance costs before we get to medicare at 65. And of course I would probably live longer and enjoy those years more. So time to buckle down! I have so many reasons to lose this weight, but the biggest one is for myself so that I can be an active retiree.2 -

Ultimate Goal Weight: Not sure
This is my 5th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.Day 1: 12/26: 137.7 - Extremely active day, but also ate quite a bit. 451 calories left over in the Green
Day 2: 12/27: 137.1 - I have enough leftovers for a few days, stuffing and gravy is my weakness so I will load my plate with veggies and turkey and stretch out the badder stuff : - ) 561 in the Green
Day 3: 12/28: 137.7 - I was awake throughout the night and weighed less just now, but am using my very early morning weight. 717 in the Green
Day 4: 12/29: 137.2 - Back on track at least until NYE. 302 in the Green
Day 5: 12/30: 137.5 - Hiccup yesterday, some sad news and went off a bit. 791 in the Green
Day 6: 12/31: 138.3 - That is the highest that I have weighed in awhile. Not going to overdo it tonight, but I will have some Champagne and something delicious to eat. 384 in the Green
Day 7: 01/01: 138.4 - I had Ribs, it might catch up more. I have had lots of activity, but also ate more than usual. 111 in the Green
Day 8: 01/02: 137.2 - Now to get rid of the holiday eating. 624 in the Green
2nd Week Goal Weight:
2nd Week Actual Weight: 137.2 - i see that I didn't set a goal weight for this week!
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 3490 - So close to a pound worth
Day 9: Sun, 1/3: 136.1 - A bunch of water loss yesterday. I remained very active throughout the holidays even though I upped my consumption. Very happy to see this number, it motivates me. 417 in the Green
Day 10: Mon, 1/4: 135.9 - Going to do my measurements today. an astounding 1278 in the Green
Day 11: Tues, 1/5: 135.4 - Many workouts yesterday, and back to healthier eating. A scale drop always motivates me to be "good". We all fight so hard for each pound, too easy to backslide and undo the hard work. 1354 in the Green
Day 12: Wed, 1/6: 135.5 - Very long work day and a very late dinner. Burned lots of calories and didn't eat them back, hoping that shows up in a day or two. 1190 in the Green
Day 13: Thurs, 1/7: 134.8 - New low : - ) All of this calorie burning is showing up on the scale. Work alone was 20,000 steps yesterday on top of my daily workout. 506 in the Green
Day 14: Fri, 1/8: 134.1 - Lowest so far in many many years. Hoping to keep this going. 620 in the Green
Day 15: Sat, 1/9: 135.1 - Kind of bad choices yesterday, but I touched that 134.1 once so I know that I can get back there. 721 in the Green
3rd Week Goal Weight: 135.1
3rd Week Actual Weight: 135.1
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 6086, should have lost more than a pound, and did.
Week 4:
Day 16: 1/10: 137.4 - Wow, almost back up to Day 1 weight for some reason. Hoping that this is just a fluctuation. I have been on track except for Friday (which obviously caught up to me just now), but even then I was under calorie goals due to activity. 831 in the Green
Day 17: 1/11: 137.4 - Got in lots of activity yesterday because I was planning on a huge steak and prawns for dinner. This will fuel my body for days to come, but I want to get this number back down. 663 in the Green
Day 18: 1/12: 136.1 - Better, still 1 pound up from last week. 668 in the Green
Day 19: 1/13: 136.5 - I'm okay with this, but hope to get closer to last week's EW. 558 in the Green

Day 21: 1/15: 136.7 - Loads of activity yesterday, but .. Nachos. 410 in the Green
Day 22: 1/16: 136.5 - So it looks like I lost 1 pound in a month. 452 in the Green
4th Week Goal Weight: 134.4

Day 23: Sun, 1/17: 137.3 - Ouch, apparently still paying for Friday's nachos. 999 in the Green
Day 24: Mon, 1/18: - 135.8 - Much better. Now to get back to week 2's weights. 705 in the Green
Day 25: Tues, 1/19: - 135.6 - Got in a few extra Fitness Marshall songs here and there 2 or 3 at a time throughout the day yesterday which added up to a nice calorie burn (and mood lifter) overall. 539 in the Green
Day 26: Wed, 1/20: - 135.5 - I have moved all of my jobs from today to tomorrow. I am going to get out for a nice long walk/hike. Yesterday was incredibly windy with dust blowing everywhere when I tried to leave work for a small walk/break so I didn't spend any time outdoors. I had my 2 year physical early in the morning. Doc was pleased with my weight loss, but still needs me to lose more to bring my blood pressure further down and get me to a healthy body weight for my height. Working on it. Very slow. 526 in the Green
Day 27: Thurs, 1/21: 135.4 - Always happy to see a drop even if tiny. 368 in the Green
Day 28: Fri, 1/22: 136.9 : - ( 472 in the Green
Day 29: Sat, 1/23: 136.4 - 203 in the Green
5th Week Goal Weight: 135.3
5th Week Actual Weight: 136.4 - disappointed with this, but know that it is up to me.
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 3812 - enough to lose 1 pound
Day 30: Sun, 1/24: 138.1 - Argh. Wings last night must have been the culprit. I wasn't over my calories though. 1060 in the Green
Day 31: Mon, 1/25: 138.3 - Sodium? Lots of activity yesterday, I feel like the weight will drop back down over the next few days. 762 in the Green
Day 32: Tues, 1/26: 135.3 - Maybe just being so banged up was causing my body to hold on to weight? Very happy to see this. 703 in the Green
Day 33: Wed, 1/27: 135.2 - Very busy work week, prepping my meals ahead of time so that I don't grab something "bad". 799 in the Green
Day 34: Thurs, 1/28: - 135.2 - Worked a super long day yesterday, I didn't get home until after midnight, but had to eat because I hadn't had anything since the morning. I thought that my weight would reflect the late eating and tiny amount of sleep. Glad that it didn't. 653 in the Green
Day 35: Fri, 1/29: - 135.5 - Looming end of week weigh in always motivates me to be "good" : - ) 844 in the Green
Day 36: Sat, 1/30: 134.8 - Going to try not to blow it today. 440 in the Green
6th Week Goal Weight: 134.5
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.8 - Close
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 5261- enough to lose a pound
Day 37: Sun, 1/31: 136.9 - Ouch and TMI - 907 in the Green
Day 38: Mon, 2/1: 137.5 - Another TMI uptick, expecting a woosh over the next few days. 562 in the Green
Day 39: Tues, 2/2: 137.1 - Can't say that I am not disappointed to be so close to my start weight 39 days ago. Mind you I haven't been out on my trail walks in well over a week so that is probably making a difference (melting here, so water on top of ice, not going) 729 in the Green
Day 40: Wed, 2/3: 135.9 - I touched the 134.1 in the last 100, but I was outside lots. Missing the trails indeed. 577 in the Green
Day 41: Thurs, 2/4: 136.3 - MFP has been suggesting the 120s for 4 months now (if every day was like today) but it still feels far off. 966 in the Green
Day 42: Fri, 2/5: 134.8 - So much better. I got out of the Obese Zone in September, working towards getting out of the Overweight Zone some day.
Day 43: Sat: 2/6: 135.8 - Oh well, I will keep working at it. 678 in the Green
7th Week Goal Weight: 134.9
7th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Excess Calories left over in the Green - 4949 - More than enough to lose a pound.
Day 44: Sun, 2/7: 136.1 - Like a yo-yo. 193 in the Green
Day 45: Mon, 2/8: 137.5 - Superbowl no-nos yesterday. 915 in the Green
Day 46: Tues, 2/9: 137.2 - Working hard to get it back down. 862 in the Green
Day 47: Wed, 2/10: 134.4 - Whew. Too hard fought to blow it. 489 in the Green
Day 48: Thurs, 2/11: 134.2 - 383 in the Green
Day 49: Fri, 2/12: 134.3 - I got to skate yesterday. I burned a lot of calories between that, workouts, and pedometer (1198) but ate more too. Going to eat light today. 661 in the Green
Day 50: Sat, 2/13: 135.5 - Argh, no reason for a gain today after 3 days in the "4s". 817 in the Green
8th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I just keep plugging in these goal numbers, I hit this number in week 2. Either wishful thinking or something to work towards.
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.5 - I actually was on a good track to make my goal.
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 4320 - enough to lose a pound
Day 51: Sun, 2/14: 135.6 - Hoping that the weather goes back to "normal" soon, outdoor activity tends to lose me more weight than indoor for some reason. Perhaps it is a chemical that only gets produced outside? 1144 calories in the Red.
Day 52: Mon, 2/15: 136.3 - This will go up more, I had Ribs yesterday, so this choice will lead to the expected results. Glad that I stop myself from having them once per week like I used to. MFP says that I would be 144 pounds in 5 weeks if every day were like that. I have to keep with the calorie intake/burn in which MFP says that I will be 123 in 5 weeks if I eat like that every day. I had an entire day of calories extra yesterday, that will take a while to undo. I will work out extra today and eat frequently and light to try to mitigate it. 841 in the Green
Day 53: Tues, 2/16: 135.3 - That is the quickest that I have bounced back from Ribs. It was a holiday yesterday though, so I had time for lots of workouts. Or maybe my body went into fat burning overdrive from the excessive calories the day before. 725 in the Green
Day 54: Wed, 2/17: 134.8 - I have been working out and eating well since the Ribs. I have now made up for that day in the "Red" and am moving forward. Once in awhile "treat" takes a while to get back off. 717 in the Green
Day 55: Thurs, 2/18: 134.4 - Worried about our friends in Texas with this climate change weather whip. 911 in the Green
Day 56: Fri, 2/19: 133.3 - New low. I have been working my tail off this entire week to try to mitigate my overage from Ribs consumption. I have a nice steak and prawns for tonight's dinner, so will definitely need to get a bunch of activity in before that. 493 in the Green
Day 57: Sat, 2/20: 133.5 - Not too bad after my huge bacon wrapped beef tenderloin steak last night. Pizza and drinks tonight though...138 in the Green
9th Week Goal Weight: 134.1 - I guess that I will just keep plugging this number in until I hit it again. Hit it in week 2, so maybe this week if I can stay "good".
9th Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 2681 - Not enough to lose a pound, but I had excess of that every other week so lost some weight
Day 58: Sun, 2/21: 136.0 - Pizza, beer, and copious amounts of water after from the salty bacon/ham and stuff pizza yesterday. I will get lots of activity in today. 965 in the Green
Day 59: Mon, 2/22: 136.9 - I really feel like this is temporary, I expected to see a drop this morning. 1007 in the Green
Day 60: Tues, 2/23: 136.6 - Very active yesterday, had hoped to see a drop. Maybe tomorrow. 258 in the Green
Day 61: Wed, 2/24: 135.5 - Meal prep is done. Going to get a bunch of small workouts in today here and there. 997 in the Green
Day 62: Thurs, 2/25: 135.1 - 2 more weigh days left of this week.
Day 63: Fri, 2/26: 135.1- Got up to another town for a public skating time slot yesterday. Hoping to see a nice number tomorrow. 956 in the Green
Day 64: Sat, 2/27: 135.2 - I'm okay with this. 242 in the Green
10th Week Goal Weight: 133.9 - seems ambitious, but after hitting 133.3 I feel like I can achieve it.
10th Week Actual Weight: 135.2
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 5332, more than enough to lose a pound.
Day 65: Sun, 2/28: DNW - up during the night, water, coffee, breakfast already consumed. 633 in the Green
Day 66: Mon, 3/1: 136.0 - I will get on top of that. It takes 3 days for "bad" foods to show up on my scale. 653 in the Green.
Day 67: Tues, 3/2: 135.0 - Okay, back close to last week's weights. I am going to try to stay "good" the rest of this week. 502 in the Green
Day 68: Wed, 3/3: 133.0 - Super pleased to see this number again finally. 958 in the Green
Day 69: Thurs, 3/4: 132.2 - Are all of those weeks when I had more than enough excess calories left over to "lose a pound" finally catching up? Pretty darned happy with this new low. 46 in the Green
Day 70: Fri, 3/5: 134.1 - So easy to put it on, hard to get it off. Food choices weren't great yesterday. MFP went from saying 121 in 5 weeks to 133 in 5 weeks. Groan. 620 in the Green
Day 71: Sat, 3/6: 134.9 - Had lots of activity yesterday and today will be ice skating. Expected a lower number today, maybe tomorrow. 634 in the Green
11th Week Goal Weight: 134.0
11th Week Actual Weight: 134.9
Excess Calories left over in the Green: 4046 - enough to lose a pound.
Day 72: Sun, 3/7: 133.8 - Day off, I will up my activity and prep meals for the week. 813 in the Green
Day 73: Mon, 3/8: 134.7 - Saturday's food choices kicking in? 628 in the Green
Day 74: Tues, 3/9: 134.7 - Expected a drop this morning, but nope. 1119 in the Green
Day 75: Wed, 3/10: 133.3 - My calorie burn was through the roof yesterday, because on top of my regular workouts and walking I got a very good ice skate in which burns a ton. 883 in the Green
Day 76: Thurs, 3/11: 133.4 - Only 23 days left of this 100!! 543 in the Green
Day 77: Fri, 3/12: 133.7 - I have been a bit more indulgent this week. Nothing crazy, but I need to limit that a bit more.
Day 78: Sat, 3/13:
12th Week Goal Weight: 132.2 (because I hit that last week)
12th Week Actual Weight:
Excess Calories left over in the MFP tracker (Green)

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
Day 01 – 12/26 …..205.4…..My family Christmas dinner is on Sunday (tomorrow). I expect to see an increase. Good luck everyone this round.
Day 02 – 12/27 …..203.2…..A nice big Whoosh. I cut back yesterday in anticipation for my very large Christmas Dinner and party today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow, but I will be a good girl in the days following.
Day 03 – 12/28 …..205.2…..Dinner was salty and fatty but delicious. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Day 04[/ b] – 12/29 …..206.0….. It had to be the over-abundance of wine. Perhaps dinner catching up a little with me too from 2 days ago?
Day 05 - 12/30 …..206.0….. Poured out the wine and chose Chinese instead. Gave away the last of the goodies too. I will have the other half of the Chinese today.
Day 06 – 12/31 …..207.0….. Expecting alcohol tonight but I will keep the food in check! Had the last of the Chinese food yesterday.
Weight Loss in December……………….. 1.6 lb GAIN.
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 LB GAIN
Day 07 – 01/01 …..207.8….. Ouch! Chinese catching up? My late December Christmas dinner showing up? Perhaps. But then there were the buckeye balls brought over yesterday. The rest will go to my grandchildren that are visiting today.
Day 08 – 01/02 …..208.1….. Travel today and tomorrow.
Day 09 – 01/03 …..207.1….. Not sure I understand the fluctuations. It should have been yesterdays higher number or even higher after travel and restaurant food. Likely water retention released? More travel today.
Day 10 – 01/04 …..207.4.….. Travel day cancelled yesterday. That allowed me to reach my 10,000 steps. However, my dinner wasn’t until 3:30 a.m. so that did not help the 9:00 a.m. weigh-in.
Day 11 – 01/05 …..207.0….. I will have lots of company today as I’ve called in the troops to help me un-decorate and store my Christmas décor. I’m not sure how my meals will go – probably a very late dinner again, but I will get in lots of movement I hope.
Day 12 – 01/06 …..207.2…..A normal fluctuation. Worked on taking down my Christmas stuff today with the help of one of my handymen. A long day.
Day 13 – 01/07 …..207.2….. Drank milk. It always bloats me. Meals were good.
Day 14 – 01/08 …..207.0….. Better portion control. @dawnbgethealthy WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! YOU ARE SLAYING IT!!!!
Day 15 – 01/09 …..208.6….. Well-planned meals but milk seems to bloat me and kill my progress. I’m going back to a small amount of Fairlife. No more real milk, even when it’s lowfat!!!!
Day 16 – 01/10 …..208.6….. Kept calories good again yesterday and avoided milk. Meals very late as a friend stopped by without notice until 11:00 p.m. That may explain it along with no TMI x 2 days now. My big worry coming up is the remodel we will likely be starting later this week in one of the bathrooms. It is friends and family helping and my meals will be interrupted greatly forcing late meals on the regular. It will be too many to feed and I just can’t eat in front of anyone. There will be many projects this year. I’ve got to figure it all out.
Day 17 - 01/11 …..207.0….. Whoosh. Bathroom duty was better. A wretched night last night filled with personal family turmoil. Bad sleep. Traveled today while so unrested, so we will see what tomorrow holds.
Day 18 – 01/12 …..207.0….. I am very happy to see no gain after travel. I chalk it up to falling asleep early causing all my meals to be earlier. However, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later so I will be watching and tracking the patterns.
Day 19 – 01/13 …..207.2….. A tiny fluctuation. I managed to increase my steps yesterday but I had to work for it. I added a two mile indoor walk to get me over the hump.
Day 20 – 01/14 …..207.0….. Movie night last night. A very good low cal/low carb planned dinner but the snacks were off-target. I’ll eat better today but not much movement. Feeling tired…..
Day 21 – 01/15 …..xxxxx….. No chance to weigh today. A friend woke me up banging on door. Yesterday was good but last night I had too many bad snacks.
Day 22 – 01/16 …..207.0….. A complete rest day yesterday. In bed at 6:45 pm to watch TV until 3:00 am. Slept in this morning to get more sleep than I’ve gotten in months. Over 6 hours which is AMAZING for me. I usually just don’t seem to need more than about 4.5 hours. Maybe retirement will change my sleeping patterns for the better! Going for a 6 for tomorrow’s numbers!
Day 23 – 01/17 …..206.8…..Finally a 6! Barely, but finally!
Day 24 – 01/18 …..206.2….. 3 meals instead of 2 yesterday but no snacks. Finally TMI (bathroom duty). It helped. Now I am going to push for a 5.
Day 25 – 01/19 …..205.6…..Yay! The meals still aren’t perfect but I am focusing on at least a 12/12 IF and a “very diet” dinner in a small quantity. I am still eating very late, but better. Focusing on sleep. Phone woke me up at 5 hours & 5 minutes today. I forgot to mute it. Still better than usual but I would have slept a bit more otherwise. I feel my body fighting me a bit. I woke up starving. I am listening to the cues. I had a bit of an early breakfast. I will keep my dinner light.
Day 26 – 01/20 …..205.2….. Moving right along and hoping to keep it up! This puts me back to just below my starting weight. Now, to get busy!
Day 27 – 01/21 …..205.4….. Just a small fluctuation. Yesterday was pretty busy. Ended up with OMAD and low calorie but not much exercise or movement. Lots of water though! I am still feeling happy and strong!
Day 28 – 01/22 …..205.2…..
Day 29 – 01/23 …..206.2….. I cooked a beautiful low calorie and low carb meal for my friend yesterday. Day was going great. Then……late night snack monster reared his ugly head. Pop-tarts and milk. It wasn’t worth a full pound gain by any stretch of the imagination. I will try to extra-tweak today to make up for it so that pound doesn’t stick around.
Day 30 – 01/24 …..208.2….. This is not the way to get to Onederland. It’s not even the scenic route. Turning this train around so I can go in the right direction. Lost my way.
Day 31 – 01/25 …..207.0….. I wish I could take credit for doing something wildly healthier and different but I can’t. Scale shot up yesterday more than expected and shot down today more than expected. Strange. I seriously don’t think, based on what I ate, that it was fluid retention so I am baffled but happy this morning to see a bit of a correction.
Day 32 – 01/26 …..206.6….. I hope to make better choices today.
Day 33 – 01/27 …..207.6….. I need potty duty and more exercise, both of which is proving impossible.
Day 34 – 01/28 …..207.0….. Better….
Day 35 – 01/29 …..207.6….. Back down on hands and knees scrubbing carpets in my new home. Previous owners were extremely heavy smokers and very old so the entire house (all 3 floors) has not been thoroughally cleaned in YEARS! One room has blue carpet which appeared to be 100% completely green until I hand cleaned it then went over with shampooer. Doing around the edges where the shampooer struggles to reach is the hardest but I’m getting it done. With the process I’m using, each room takes 6 days so this will be going on for months. It is my winter project because spring holds so many things to be done! So I am burning the calories, for sure, but not getting in many actual steps. I just hope for continued progress in my journey as well as in my home.
Day 36 – 01/30 …..206.4….. The last of the chinese food today.
Day 37 – 01/31 …..207.6….. Hello Chinese Food aftermath. I guess I deserve this.
Weight Loss in January……………….. 0.6 GAIN (from the December 31st weight)
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.4 GAIN
Day 38 – 02/01 …..207.6….. No change yet. Staying hopeful.
Day 39 – 02/02 …..207.6….. Banana nut bread snack. That gets you nowhere.
Day 40 – 02/03 …..208.8……Epic failure. I finished the banana nut bread. Bathroom remodel starts today which will make cooking difficult. I must be creative in my eating choices and be willing to cook later when I am so tired. I am still working on carpets. It will be awhile before I can breathe easy.
Day 41 – 02/04 …..xxxxx…… Woke up running and actually forgot to weigh.
Day 42 – 02/05 …..208.6….. Okay, let’s try this again!
Day 43 – 02/06 …..207.2….. I can’t quite pat myself on the back. The day ended in lower calorie overall but the choices of quick frozen food was questionable. Not very healthy.
Day 44 – 02/07 …..207.7….. Pizza with DD and DGS which is a rare occasion these days, especially with the pandemic. No formal exercise except chasing the 3 yr old up & down the stairs most of the evening! Back on track today.
Day 45 – 02/08 …..207.4….. Better.
Day 46 – 02/09 …..206.6….. I am expecting a high-sodium dinner so I am being extra careful today and will be drinking plenty of water.
Day 47 – 02/10 …..207.2….. Hello Sodium! Traveling today too. Oh boy!
Day 48 – 02/11 …..206.8….. Nearly ½ pound down after travel? I’m suspicious this is going to sneak up on me tomorrow since it hid today. We shall see. Keeping the faith…..
Day 49 – 02/12 …..206.0….. Didn’t expect to see lower today honestly. Lots of water shed yesterday. Maybe I’ve lost that high sodium day.
Day 50 – 02/13 …..206.0….. I am grateful for no change. I ate great healthy meals yesterday and then binged on snacks. And I do mean BINGE!!!!! I will be extra careful today to help make up for my bad choices last night.
Day 51 – 02/14 …..206.4….. I have gained exactly 1 pound since the start of this challenge. Very disappointed! I did an experiment. I added up all the weight loss from day-to-day since Jan 1, 2020 to see how much weight I had lost because I knew I was losing the same pounds over and over. I have lost 103.8 pounds! However, my scale is showing a gain of 12.4 lbs during the same timeframe. Talk about self-sabotage! Something has to change!
Day 52 – 02/15 …..208.8….. One meal yesterday. This is frustrating and very unfair.
Day 53 – 02/16 …..207.2….. Weight coming back down. Grateful where I can be.
Day 54 – 02/17 …..204.6….. Sodium likely gone. Great food choices yesterday. No exercise due to work crew. They are here again today.
Day 55 – 02/18 …..204.4….. Very little sleep and some late night hunger so I am happy for this small drop on the scale.
Day 56 – 02/19 …..204.8….. Good diet yesterday but very very little movement. On the computer most of the day with tax prep. Today is day 3 with no TMI so I think that contributes. Still no word of vaccine in my little town. They are still on the very first group here – Group 1A for medical personnel. We don’t have many medical personnel in our town so it is a lack of the vaccine itself. I just want to get this over with! I am group 1C due to diabetes and cancer remission.
Day 57 – 02/20 …..205.0…..
Day 58 – 02/21 …..205.0….. Grateful to have the same numbers glaring at me from the scale. My calories were okay yesterday but OMGosh on the choices I made. Horrid, Horrid little girl I was! Absolutely nothing fueling or replenishing about what I stuck in my pie-hole. That makes me feel gluttonous and (almost) childlike. I was a limited thinker yesterday. Today I will ponder before I put my greedy little fingers upon anything!
Day 59 – 02/22 …..207.2….. I had a bowl of ice cream instead of lunch. I guess my body knows the difference and punished me. Nutrition matters.
Day 60 – 02/23 …..207.2…… I refuse to spend 100 days making more better choices than not, move movement than not, more sacrifices than not and end up in a higher weight than when I started! I am expecting Chinese tonight (and leftovers tomorrow) for dinner. Pushing water. Skipping lunch. Diet alone isn’t doing it though. I need more movement and there is absolutely zero privacy here during this remodel. (And more remodeling coming.) I’m so tired at night but I have to fit something in!
Day 61 – 02/24 .….207.5…… Chinese leftovers today so I don’t expect to see anything very nice or friendly on the scale tomorrow.
Day 62 – 02/25 …..207.5…… Thankful that the leftovers didn’t kill my scales or my spirit. Using the stairs………..
Day 63 – 02/26 …..207.2…… Yay, I put that Chinese behind me (which was a tasty treat) and had a low calorie dinner yesterday. I walked the steps but found I could only do it once at a time (very steep and I am out of shape). That is okay because I can just do it more often and build up my strength. Love the idea!
Day 64 – 02/27 …..207.6…… Frustrated. It was the homemade sour dough bread from the Amish with butter. I should not have went back for that 2nd piece later last night. Extra stairs today!
Day 65 – 02/28 …..207.0…… Although this was a nice overnight drop, I am up 1.6 lbs since the start of this challenge. My main goal now is just to get back to starting weight by the end. It sounds easy, but based on my stats, it won’t be. Focusing on this shorter term goal at this point may help.
Weight Loss in February……………….. 0.6 Loss
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb GAIN
Day 66 – 03/01 …..206.6…… Hopeful I’ll stay smart & ready as each day comes. I fit in 20 minutes of dancing last night when I got a burst of energy. It put my steps over 11,000. So grateful!
Day 67 – 03/02 …..207.4…… Bouncy Bounce. Snacks with milk. Why can’t I be like a normal person and have a snack with a glass of milk and not balloon up so much? Gosh I miss being in my 20’s
Day 68 – 03/03 …..207.0…… Better and very pleased because I did end up traveling yesterday afternoon until later last night. I needed a Home Depot for some returns and some remodel shopping. The crew took the day off for some personal business so my son & I took care of our business. I steered clear of Chinese because I struggled all last week over one dinner. Instead I opted for my son’s pick….Applebees. I tried something new, the prime rib sandwich. I also had 4 boneless honey-BBQ wings. I left the fries on the plate and drank water with lemon. Sandwich was delicious. So glad I kept my cool. Down nearly half of a pound when traveling is a record for me!
Day 69 – 03/04 …..208.4…… Maybe that travel/restaurant lunch caught up with me afterall. I dunno. I also had a SEVERE glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I haven’t made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable. I am not off to a very good start on my search for Onederland. But it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. #fightingthegoodfight.
Day 70 – 03/05 …..208.4…… Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesn’t want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.
Day 71 – 03/06 …..208.4…… Traveled to attorney appointment yesterday to begin the process of updating my will, trust, power-of-attorney and advanced directive. Now I have some homework to do before my next appointment on March 17th. I had lunch at a restaurant in that town. I ate half and boxed the rest up for my dinner. I kept it reasonable but my snacks late last night are something I’m not too proud of. Glucose stayed steady probably because of the snacks. I hope to keep today better and that the meal out does not show up in a day or two on the scale.
Day 72 – 03/07 …..207.6……Yay! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am, especially after travel! Today will be takeout pizza. No, I am not self-sabotaging (this time). After the work crew leaves today, I will be having takeout with my children as we hold a family meeting in regards to my Will & Trust. It will be a difficult evening so I am already stressing and I didn’t sleep well last night. I will try to keep portion reasonable and get in some pacing steps & stairs today while the work crew are here.
Day 73 – 03/08 …..208.2…… Pizza straight to the hips! I will be better today.
Day 74 – 03/09 …..206.8…… Meals light. Snacks…..Meh. I can do better!
Day 75 – 03/10 …..204.8…… What a shock on the scale! I actually had another drunken sugar drop last night which woke me up from sleeping at 4:30 am. This is quite surprising because there is this time period during the night, (it has a name bug my cancer brain fog is preventing me from remembering it) when a T2D has a pretty big raise in their glucose numbers at night. So walking up to such a drop was uncharacteristic. I dealt with it with a pop tart and milk and felt pretty good pretty quickly. Of course, I thought that would ruin my weigh-in this morning and I was quite surprised to not see a bad affect on the scale. I’ll remain grateful today and try to run with the ball. I will be traveling later this week, perhaps Friday, for more building supplies. I am going to try to save up some calories and stay reasonable like I have the past couple of trips.
Day 76 – 03/11 …..206.2…… Two pounds overnight I suppose was not realistic and my body adjusted. Still down 0.6 from 2 days ago. TMI would help but daily is not a regular thing for me so this probably affected the scale today too. I had a good day yesterday with meals and I increased my steps. Happy overall to be seeing a downward trend. I’ve just got to keep fighting the good fight, like everyone else!

OK so I'm generally new to this still and there's a lot I'm always going to be learning to try and get this stable. I've been doing OMAD since day 64 and I think I need to change it up a little. I wanted to hold out way longer than this and keep doing what I'm doing hoping I'd start seeing small fluctuations again but I think I might not be getting enough calories and nutrition I need to keep my metabolism in good form. I had the huge weight drop in quick speed then the complete stalemate. My intuition tells me I need to eat more but I haven't managed to because I can't get the amount I need in the 1 hour eating window. So because of that today I increased my eating window from 1 hour to 2 hours and was able to get twice as much food in as usual which I really needed. I feel really good right now. Very very satiated. Hopefully increasing the eating window and amount will get me closer to being on a regular and healthy pace, not a fast track or a stall.
Despite the scale number, my room mate walked by me yesterday and went, "WOAH DUDE! LOOK AT YOUR LEGS, WHEN DID THEY GET SO SKINNY!", and I realized they're half the size they were just a couple weeks ago. Not sure how that's possible, but my leg fat decided to run off to some other dimension

I was very active back then too, just fat. I decided that I didn't want to be fat any more.
So I made some tiny changes in what I was consuming.
Logging and pre-logging is everything.
I am with you on wanting to be healthy going into 60+
My goal for my 60th birthday was to get out of the obese zone, which for me and my body frame and height is 141 - and I was 141 on my birthday.
Now just in the overweight zone, but am working toward a "normal" zone.2 -

That is cool that your legs got smaller.
Glad that you changed it up a little.
OMAD and IF seem to work very well for men, and not well for women (according to an article on MFP).
Definitely you want to keep the metabolism fired up at all times, not only to lose weight, but also to be healthy.
It seems to be working for you the way that it is going. We all have to tweak stuff as we go along, and different strategies get employed for whatever works for us each as individuals. For myself it is always about long term sustainability, changing my eating habits to something that I can carry on forever.
You have really lost a lot!!2 -
