    100 Days of Accountability 4/4-7/13
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 60, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 207
    Challenge Goal: <195

    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:

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

All the company at my house has left, my DD & her husband are on their honeymoon, my mom is around for a couple more days for doctors’ appts, and I’m caring for DD’s 2 golden doodles … so lots of walking planned this week as well as running mom around and gardening!

Morning funeral for a friend's husband + when my mom (84) drove in Thursday late afternoon we realized that she needed to go to the doc after her fall Wednesday morning (stubborn woman) so Friday morning talked her out of getting her nails done and going to the doc instead ... she ended up with surgery last night for a broken wrist + another celebration for DD & her husband. Fiesta planned in 2020 before her wedding that had to be postponed.

    Well that was a lot of up and down this past week! Let’s see if I do better next week getting below 205.

    Day 77: Sun, 6/20: 207.1 No exercise, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. We celebrated fathers day on Saturday and ate two large meals. Guessing that I should have not filled my plate! And maybe sleep in so I’m not weighing myself before the sun rises. Hope some of this is just temporary!!!
    Day 78: Mon, 6/21: 206.4 Walked 2 miles, gardening, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
    Day 79: Tues, 6/22: 206.6 Walked .6 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Lawyer for my mom to update her will, book club, and packing for our trip! Busy day yesterday.
    Day 80: Wed, 6/23: DNW @ Girls Road Trip w/ mom & sis long car ride, no exercise, restaurant meals this week! ? cal, ? net carbs, 1 glass wine.
    Day 81: Thurs, 6/24: DNW @ Girls Road Trip w/ mom & sis Walked 2 miles Garvan Gardens, pizza & 1 beer for lunch at Grateful Head. Cheese, grapes, nuts, 3 wine and leftover pizza for dinner as we watched the water activity, sunset and played dominos.
    Day 82: Fri, 6/25: DNW @ Girls Road Trip w/ mom & sis Walked while shopping in downtown Hot Springs ~ 2 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

    12th Week Actual Weight: 210.1
    YIKES! 3.5 lb gain over that short vacation! I did not snack with my mom & sister during the vacation … they eat ALL the time. But still the meals were a killer of course it was my choice what to order and I chose poorly. Time to get things back under control and reel the gains back in.

    Day 84: Sun, 6/27: 207.3 Walked 3.2 miles, 1521 cal, 43 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Feeling either a sinus headache or cold coming on last night and then slept 10 hrs. Hope today I’ll feel much better. No more ? for my food intake this week is the plan. Back to journaling everything!
    Day 85: Mon, 6/28: 206.7 Walked 3.1 + 1 miles (12682 steps, 5.3 miles total for the day), 2216 cal, 49 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Feeling much better! Nice day with kids visiting for lunch, a little rain, and then got caught up on some of my book club reading.
    Day 86: Tues, 6/29: 206.2 Walked 1.4 miles after the rains, 1907 cal, 77 net carbs, AF. Took my mom for her followup with doc that did surgery on her broken wrist before our trip then lunch out with my mom & DD. Good day though I did get into the snacks in the evening! DH was at an Astros game. But then better snacks than drinking alone.
    Day 87: Wed, 6/30: 205.9 Walked 2.4 miles, last .5 mile running in the rain to get home quickly but drenched, 1605 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine.
    Day 88: Thurs, 7/1: 206.2 Walk 3.3 miles, 1 min plank, 10 squats, hand weight routine, bike 30 min, 1751 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses wine dining out. Pretty sure that the unexpected Italian dinner out showed up on the scale and derailed all my exercise. Set up my paper journal to track my exercise goals in July and began testing them out yesterday! No reason to wait until July :) I’ve found that the graphs and paper journal help me reflect , focus and high 5 myself … something about all those colored pencils and doodles!
    Day 89: Fri, 7/2: 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 No walking long car ride, plank, squats, 1853 cal, 102 net carbs, 4 glasses of wine. Hoping this jump is from travel bloat and not actual gain. I was good at fast food ordering grilled chicken melt no bun at Whataburger and then dinner was jambalaya. But the wine and less water might have just taken me over the edge.
    Day 90: Sat, 7/3: 207.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 [/b] Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, squats, 1850 cal, 86 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Caught 16” speckled trout but due to the freeze earlier this year the TPWD narrowed the slot size from 15”-25” to 17”-23”. Catch & Release. No fish tacos :(

    WRONG DIRECTION! But better than last week’s high reading.
    Day 91: Sun, 7/4: 207.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .3 miles, fishing, squats, 2219 cal, 112 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
    Day 92: Mon, 7/5: 208.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .6 miles, fishing, squats, 1399 cal, 82 net carbs, 1 glass wine, 1 Heineken 0.0. I’m not sure what caused this upswing ?????
    Day 93: Tues, 7/6: 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2 miles, long car drive, 1565 cal, 67 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Avoided fast food on the drive but then succumbed to frozen pizza with extra fresh mozzarella when we arrived home in the evening. Expecting rain for the rest of the week.
    Day 94: Wed, 7/7: 206.4 Walked 1.2 + 1.3 + 1 miles walking my dog and my daughter’s 2 dogs, 1317 cal, 86 net carbs, AF.
    Day 95: Thurs, 7/8: 205.7 Walked 2.4 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, plank, squats, hand weights, 1642 cal, 32 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Really busy day but no excuse … made the time to exercise! Decided Wednesdays would be my weekly push on attempting all my exercises.
    I’ve had the 195 target goal for the last couple of 100 day rounds and don’t seem to get even close! I’ll be very happy to finish this round under 205 … or anything below by original 207 from the beginning of the 100 days. What this proves to me is that I need to keep on the downward trend, pay attention and quit this volleyball action of going up and then losing the same pounds again and again.
    Day 96: Fri, 7/9: 206.1 Walked 3 miles, 1699 cal, 118 net carbs, AF. Snickers of all things! Then ice cream! Cutting back on salty crunchy snacks and I start craving of all things … sweet which is not my usual cravings.
    Day 97: Sat, 7/10: 206.1 Rain, no exercise, 2001 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

    Progress but feel like a volleyball!

    Day 98: Sun, 7/11: 205.4 Walked 2.75 miles, trimmed tree limbs, 1678 cal, 81 net carbs. Better start this week and only a few days left. No excuses … need to hit my mini goal so I can end these 100 days with a minor loss.

    Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 149.8 weighed earlier than usual so could have been lower
    Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 152 Had bad day yesterday. Happens every time I lose weight – I start off great then regress.

    April Loss: -5.8

    Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 144.6
    Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable. This has to be some major water retention.

    Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 143.8
    Day 51: Tue, 5/25: 143.4
    Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 144 Had Mexican food last night, just chicken tacos, tortilla chips, refried bean dip and salsa. Didn't eat to the point of feeling full, and was within calories (including exercise) if I input the correct info. The restaurant didn't have nutrition info available, so I used info in MFP food database. Suspect this bump up is sodium so I'll be hitting the H2O hard today. My goal is to be 142.x Friday.

    Day 63: Sun, 6/6: 146.2 Attended my goddaughter's graduation party where there was barbeque, crawfish, and a chocolate fountain. Weight is up today, but I don't care.

    Week 10 GAIN: +0.2

    Day 72: Tue, 6/15: 144.8 Had a rough weekend, and was too scared to get on the scale lol! They say eventually old habits die off. Not true for me; they are always lurking just below the surface.

    Thanks @Miyoka_Tata :)
    I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
    Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
    UGW 110-115

    This is my 6th 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. Round 5 loss 4.6.
    23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
    I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
    I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.

    Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green
    Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
    Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
    Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
    Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
    Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green

    Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 133.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
    Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
    Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
    Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green
    Day 11: Thurs, 4/15:: 132.1 - Good, back to last week's EW. 822 in the Green
    Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 131.5 - Lowest so far on this journey, fluctuations may happen, but touching it for the first time feels great. 7 in the Green
    Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 133.3 - Delicious Ribs last night. Honey Garlic variety this time. Kind of worth the almost 2 pound gain, and expected. I will work it off over the next week. I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green

    Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green
    Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 134.2 : - ( 689 in the Green
    Day 16: Tues, 4/20: 133.0 - Better, but 16 days in and only 0.1 under my start weight. Sticking with it. 899 in the Green
    Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 132.9 - I have been battling a sore shoulder for 2 weeks, still working out, but modifying. 1187 in the Green
    Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
    Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
    Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green


    Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
    Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
    Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
    Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning. 867 in the green
    Day 25: Thurs, 4/29: 132.2 - Planning on having something a bit more indulgent tonight after work. 570 in the Green
    Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
    Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green

    Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
    Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
    Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
    Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
    Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green
    Day 33: Fri, 5/7: 131.3 - Another weird food choice day. I stayed within calories. Vaccine day 102 in the Green
    Day 34: Sat, 5/8: 133.8 - Ouch. I will try to get lots of activity in today. 603 in the Green

    Day 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
    Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
    Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
    Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
    Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
    Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
    Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green

    Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
    Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
    Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
    Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
    Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
    Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month. 748 in the RED
    Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

    Day 49: Sun, 5/23: 131.9 - A much more "normal" schedule heading into this week. 803 in the Green
    Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 130.2 - Very happy to see this number, I have been jumping around this whole 100 so far. Maybe starting to lose a bit finally. 846 in the Green
    Day 51: Tues, 5/25: 131.6 - No reason for the gain, so not sweating it. 306 in the Green
    Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 131.1 - Beginning split shifts for the rest of the week, modification of eating times and choices will have to happen. 674 in the Green
    Day 53: Thurs, 5/27: 131.9 - Worked a split yesterday, so a late dinner. 97 in the Green
    Day 54: Fri, 5/28: 133.5 - Argh 387 in the Green
    Day 55: Sat, 5/29: 133.8 - Well, the week's weight numbers were good until the last couple. Working so much and not finding time for more activity. 623 in the Green
    Day 56: Sun, 5/30: 132.9 - It has been a challenge for me recently with a hectic schedule. This will be for at least 1 more month, I will have to figure out my nutrition. 749 in the Green
    Day 57: Mon, 5/31: 132.2 - I will be finished work at a reasonable hour today, so will get in a healthy dinner which I will prep this morning.
    Day 58: Tues, 6/1: 132.6 - Working until 9pm tonight and tomorrow - long days for 2, I will have to change up my eating. 1238 in the Green
    Day 59: Wed, 6/2: 132.3 - Astounding amount of calories burned yesterday during work breaks that added up. Pre-logging and prepping food because I am time crunched. 757 in the Green
    Day 60: Thurs, 6/3: 130.9 - Surprised (in a happy way) to see this number once again. We broke heat records here yesterday, maybe it was sweat lol. 855 in the Green
    Day 61: Fri, 6/4: 131.1- Healthy dinner prepped, my go-to: marinated (or sometimes rubbed) chicken breast on the George Foreman grill, 3 or 4 veggies, 1/2 cup basmati, condiments (sour cream and mayo, 1/4 tbsp butter). 733 in the Green
    Day 62: Sat, 6/5: 132.0 - Dissapointed with what the scale said this morning, really thought that it would be less. 221 in the Green

    Day 63: Sun, 6/6: 133.4 - Above my start weight for the 100 : - ( 698 in the Green
    Day 64: Mon, 6/7: 132.0 - Okay. 981 in the Green
    Day 65: Tues, 6/8: 132.0 - Okay. 860 in the Green
    Day 66: Wed, 6/9: 130.9 - I have hit this number before, happy to see it again. 224 in the Green
    Day 67: Thurs, 6/10: 131.3 - It will be a late dinner tonight, I have a long work day today. 660 in the Green
    Day 68: Fri, 6/11: 131.2 - Oooohh, maybe I will hit that weekly ongoing goal finally! We'll see : - ) 229 in the Green
    Day 69: Sat, 6/12: 132.0 - I always seem to be up on the Saturday weigh-ins, so haven't hit my weekly goal this whole 100 even though I have been under it many times. Keeping at it. 571 in the Green

    Day 70: Sun, 6/13: 132.1 - I will be having a split shift schedule at the restaurant starting Wednesday of this week, finishing at 9pm. I will have to figure out/change my eating. Truth is I love to eat lots of veggies with my dinner, specifically Brussels Sprouts (very filling, yummy, and nutritious), so don't want to eat dinner before my evening shift if you catch my drift. (gassy lol) 683 in the Green
    Day 71: Mon, 6/14: 132.9 - No reason for a gain, so hoping to see a better result on the scale tomorrow. 483 in the Green
    Day 72: Tues, 6/15: 133.3 - Above my start weight! I quite expected a drop this morning. Taking it in stride, I turned that frown upside down by having my coffee (and blueberries) out on my covered front porch watching a thunderstorm : - ) 264 in the Green
    Day 73: Wed, 6/16: 133.0 - Very disheartened to be into these 133s again. Not even sure why. I will stick with the plan. I was looking forward to my monthly Ribs for Saturday or Sunday, but I may have to forego them this month. 1083 in the Green
    Day 74: Thurs, 6/17: 132.4 - Ended up burning a whopping amount of calories yesterday between various things. Still higher than I want to be, but glad to not be in the 133s this morning! 811 in the Green
    Day 75: Fri, 6/18: 131.9 - Large calorie burn again. I was so tired that I only ate 1/2 of my dinner. Now I have dinner already made for tonight : - ) (Ground chicken pesto burger on Brioche, delicious) 810 in the Green
    Day 76: Sat, 6/19: 131.6 - Still haven't hit that 2 pound loss yet, 24 days left of this 100, and i certainly had hoped to lose more than 2! Really wanting Ribs or some other indulgence, but I don't want to derail. 955 in the Green

    Day 77: Sun, 6/20: 131.2 - Very very late dinner because I worked late (and a lot) yesterday, and will be working late again today. I will be having the other half of my dinner from last night, ground chicken pesto burger on Brioche with potato patties. 475 in the Green
    Day 78: Mon, 6/21: 131.3 - Working out of town today, taking healthy snacks with me, I will get a nice workout in before the drive. 289 in the Green
    Day 79: Tues, 6/22: 132.7 - Argh 818 in the Green
    Day 80: Wed, 6/23: 133.0 - The only change this week is that I have doubled my H20 this week during the heatwave. Very frustrating. 805 in the Green
    Day 81: Thurs, 6/24: 132.8 - I suppose that I won't be having my Ribs this month. Pretty frustrated with the scale. 795 in the Green
    Day 82: Fri, 6/25: 133.2 - Ouch. 462 in the Green
    Day 83: Sat, 6/26: 134.0 - Pretty sad about this. 1271 in the Green

    Day 84: Sun, 6/27: 133.0 - Our heatwave is continuing with even hotter temps forecast for this week. Huge calorie burn yesterday, my first day off since May 14.21, so did a marathon of work in the yard and garden. 707 in the Green
    Day 85: Mon, 6/28: 133.2 - Decided not to get so upset about the scale with this heatwave going on and with the doubled water consumption affecting my weight. It is to last all week, but I need to stay hydrated. 378
    Day 86: Tues, 6/29: 132.7 - Today through Thursday are forecast to be the hottest here. Doing Census job only in the early mornings before my restaurant job. 935 in the Green
    Day 87: Wed, 6/30: 133.7 - No reason to gain a whole pound. Possibly my body is just holding on to everything while this heat wave rages on. 854 in the Green
    Day 88: Thurs, 7/1: 131.8 - Got up this morning at 6 and felt tired. I went back to bed until 8am which is very unusual for me and got this nice weight from a bit of extra sleep. 188 in the Green
    Day 89: Fri, 7/2: 132.9 - Had Ribs last night. I moved a few calories over to today to balance it out, so I will eat light today. My sugar snap peas are ready on the vines : - ) 1126 in the Green
    Day 90: Sat, 7/3: 131.7 - Burned a gazillion calories yesterday in the yard. Quit another job so finally had time to start to catch up on my neglected gardens. More of that will happen today too. 2 full days off!! 249 in the Green

    Day 77 – 06/20 …..200.2……
    Day 78 – 06/21 …..199.0…… Onederland! Not confident until 197 that I’ll stay in Onederland, but I’ve touched the hem of it and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Yesterday I ate 1190 calories but it was a bit of a lazy day. Just as it has been for the past several days, I was shy by 2000 steps of my 10,000 goal. Rainy and cold today. It will have to be all inside activity. I’m just so happy today. Dancing on the grave of the 200’s here. Gotta make this last!
    Day 79 – 06/22 …..198.8…… Met my step goal. I am happy to be able to proceed in my eating plan without sugar drop interruptions or lactose bloat (so far). All is going so well and I just have to run with it while my body is letting me. I appreciate any drop on the scale as it puts me closer to healthy, even this small 0.2 drop.
    Day 80 – 06/23 …..197.4…… There it is! 197 point anything! NOW I feel like I’m really in Onederland! Yesterday I increased my steps by 50% over the past few days and I threw in a couple of dancing songs. It was a meatless day filled with mainly veggies, a little dairy and a small amount of grains. Today is the hair dressers so I’ll be sitting more than usual. Tomorrow my son goes in and we will have dinner out afterward (a tradition). There were years when getting his hair cut was EXTREMELY difficult due to his autism. A promise of a nice dinner out afterwards has always helped. I will hang onto Onederland for dear life so that my June 25th weigh-in will still find me under the 200 mark. I’m so happy that my body is working with me right now. That is not always the case. Thanks to everyone for the shout-outs and likes!
    Day 81 – 06/24 …..197.8…… 3 meals and no fasting yesterday. All the meals were healthy and lower calorie with carbs eyed carefully, but it still adds up. I ate breakfast (I usually don’t) in anticipation of my long hair appointment. As a diabetic, I am always afraid my glucose will drop drastically when I am away from home or food, thus the light breakfast. I kept the calories at around 1600-1700 which is way less than I burned but it shows up on the scale like it wants to. I will consider yesterday and today my higher calorie days to keep my metabolism pumping. However, I will not go overboard. At my age, and with my thyroid and diabetes conditions, I can’t afford to let my metabolism get any more sluggish than it already is. Gotta trick it!
    Day 82 - 06/25 …..198.6…… My 2 days of outings are over and I plan on being home all day. Expecting thunderstorms so I am stringing together some indoor activity. Fasting 16/8 today and eating the other half of my restaurant lunch from yesterday for dinner tonight. Not exactly in my diet plan but the quantity is good. I’m happy I only ate ½ of it yesterday. I honestly could have eaten it all but I stopped when I was satisfied, not when I was stuffed. A small change that is adding up. I will compensate in my snacks to keep within my 1200-1400 calorie range today. Tomorrow I attend a wedding and of course, there will be food. Socially this has been a rough week for me but I’m compensating when and where I can so that I can still enjoy those special moments. Hoping to get below 195 by the end of this round so I won’t be letting anything interfere with that goal. If makeup days are needed, I will have them.
    Day 83 – 06/26 …..198.6…… A great day yesterday on the diet front and also with some increased planned exercise. I was hoping the scale would go down a bit, but sometimes it just fights back a bit. No TMI always makes my scale a bit higher than I like so I will patiently await. Today is the wedding. Outdoors, in thunderstorms with flood warnings. I’m not looking forward to it. Hopefully I can keep my calories reasonable at the reception but I know who I am….and that may not be in the cards. I’ll try. I promise I will try…..
    Day 84 – 06/27 …..199.0…… This weigh-in hurt a little. The wedding was wet but lovely. The storms held off but the raining never stopped. I kept the meal reasonable but the food was not the type normally in my weight loss plan. The biggest mistake was the hunger last night. I chose to eat almonds (the fat would be filling) but I did not count them out. I am sure I ate too many and certainly ate them too late. Tomorrow I travel. It will be a long day with meals out. Not what I needed at this exact moment but it can’t wait. So today I will be extra mindful. Rain expected for a least 12 hours day. Activity will be difficult as I have a worker coming over today for my project. I will fit in what I can but lack of privacy hurts.
    Day 85 – 06/28…..197.6……. I had to cancel trip today. I was so sick yesterday evening and all night. A little better today but not 100% Possible gall bladder or diverticulitis attack, probably from too many almonds day before yesterday. Horrid pain. This is a big overnight drop on the scale. Probably from such little eating yesterday (it hurt too bad) and from dehydration. We’ll see what the next few days bring as this is probably a little lower than my weight realistically is.
    Day 86 – 06/29 …..197.6…… 900 calories and only 2000 steps for the entire day! No loss due to inactivity. No gain due to minimal calories. I probably should have went to the hospital but it is over an hour away in another county and they are simple emergencies only. No specialists on board including gastrologist. I would have been sent by ambulance to yet another hospital several hours away more than likely, and all of this at night. The closest hospital is so small you cannot even have a baby there. You are shipped out downstate. So it is a dreaded process that I just did not feel like going through. The instinct was that I just needed to go to the bathroom to solve most of the problem. So far I’m feeling a touch better but my stomach is tender and I dread trying to eat. I can’t believe how fast this 100 days is going! This is the first time in a long time (if ever) that I’ve actually dropped some pounds. Keeping up the momentum as best I can. The sickness will pass but the good habits need to last forever. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on this challenge (as well as the other challenges.)
    Day 87 – 06/30 …..196.4…… I ate pretty bland and spice free yesterday to stay on the safe side. Otherwise, I did start to feel much better. I’ve dropped a pound overnight, likely from the illness. Back to business now! I took my new cat in this morning to get her fixed and chipped. She’ll stay overnight and I’ll pick her up early in the morning. The vet is a bit of a travel, but a quick non-lingering pickup will mean I can keep my meals at home and within plan. No restaurants necessary. That is a win! I’ve already crushed my goal for the challenge. The question is……Can I hold onto the loss? I am going to take off my Doubting Thomas hat and say YES!

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 10 pounds Lost!!!!
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..11.2 Pounds Lost



    Day 88 – 07/01 …..197.6……I gained a pound overnight but I think this is likely my true weight. The lower weight yesterday likely from being sick. Today I will focus on more movement and plenty of water. Picked up cat early this morning out-of-town. She is doing well. No running, jumping or playing (??) allowed for up to 14 days. How in the world am I supposed to stop all that??? Her stitches will come out in 10-14 days. She’s a sweet girl.
    Day 99 – 07/02 …..198.6…… Ouch! Yesterday was my son’s birthday so there was the food….the cake…..the ice cream….. on to a better day today but there is travel tomorrow. A pretty l…o…n…g trip. Will involve multiple meals out. Gotta hang onto Onederland. There have been way more variables this past week. Today I will Intermittent fast to cut down on my eating times and ultimately calories too. All healthy food today. More movement too.
    Day 90 – 07/03 …..197.8…… I kept the day pretty good although in reality, it could have been filled with some better choices. Calories were fair though. Movement a bit better but still short of my personal goal. I am back down nearly a pound again this morning. Preparing for my travel today. I know the scale will be up due to the restaurants and all the sitting. I will be spending next week making amends. American Holiday tomorrow too. This is classic Life Getting In The Way, but I will get through it and come out the other side triumphant!
    Day 91 – 07/04 …..199.2…… I expected this. Today is our Independence Day holiday. I will NOT be overeating today. Back in the saddle and all that stuff…..
    Day 92 – 07/05 …..198.0…… Kept the calories down, even during the holiday. The choices could have been better again but the quantities were low enough to stay within calorie goal. Working on making today a little healthier. My stress levels, however, are through the roof so it’s extra difficult right now as I tend to eat my emotions at times. Chin up, Donna! Stay positive!
    Day 93 – 07/06 …..197.4…… Happy to see this back down. Today I travel again. My lady friend who is going with me never gets Chinese food (we live in a horse & buggy type town) so we will be having a late lunch at the Chinese Thai restaurant. I know that will bloat me up and we are so close to the end of the challenge, but truthfully, I am looking forward to it. I will only eat half and save the rest for a later dinner tonight or a lunch tomorrow. I’m still learning to enjoy the things I love without too much damage to my weight. Quantities will count today!
    Day 94 – 07/07 …..198.0…… Uptick expected after travel. Leftovers later today may also send my trend upward but I know it is temporary. It’s only a meal, not a feast. However, we are very close to the end of this challenge. I am hoping to end well! My stress levels are still through the roof. Gotta get thru today and tomorrow. I need prayers from you all for victory tomorrow and peace!
    Day 95 – 07/08 …..198.4…… Uptick from the leftovers. Dawn b get healthy, I almost always get the red curry. Yum! I have 2 workers here today but I will try to walk off some of the stress. Thanks to all for the good vibes & prayers. It really does help to have your support.
    Day 96 – 07/09 …..196.6…… Wow! I got through yesterday’s stresses with about 50% success in the results. Half is better than nothing I suppose. Feeling less pressure today for sure! I ate so-so yesterday but I believe this whoosh is just to get me back down after the Thai Food water retention. I’m going for more steps today. They have been sorely under the last few days. High 70’s today and beautiful. Finally no rain!
    Day 97 – 07/10 …..197.6…… Drats! Ice Cream. Need I say more?
    Day 98 – 07/11 …..197.6…… I’ll work harder today.
    Day 99 – 07/12……xxxxx……

In addition ordered chicken dumplings and sugar free coconut cream pie. Then DH had Popeye’s fried chicken waiting for me when I got home for a late dinner.

    YIKES! 3.5 lb gain over that short vacation! I did not snack with my mom & sister during the vacation … they eat ALL the time. But still the meals were a killer of course it was my choice what to order and I chose poorly. Time to get things back under control and reel the gains back in.

    Day 84: Sun, 6/27: 207.3 Walked 3.2 miles, 1521 cal, 43 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Feeling either a sinus headache or cold coming on last night and then slept 10 hrs. Hope today I’ll feel much better. No more ? for my food intake this week is the plan. Back to journaling everything!
    Day 85: Mon, 6/28: 206.7 Walked 3.1 + 1 miles (12682 steps, 5.3 miles total for the day), 2216 cal, 49 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Feeling much better! Nice day with kids visiting for lunch, a little rain, and then got caught up on some of my book club reading.
    Day 86: Tues, 6/29: 206.2 Walked 1.4 miles after the rains, 1907 cal, 77 net carbs, AF. Took my mom for her followup with doc that did surgery on her broken wrist before our trip then lunch out with my mom & DD. Good day though I did get into the snacks in the evening! DH was at an Astros game. But then better snacks than drinking alone.
    Day 87: Wed, 6/30: 205.9 Walked 2.4 miles, last .5 mile running in the rain to get home quickly but drenched, 1605 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine.
    Day 88: Thurs, 7/1: 206.2 Walk 3.3 miles, 1 min plank, 10 squats, hand weight routine, bike 30 min, 1751 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses wine dining out. Pretty sure that the unexpected Italian dinner out showed up on the scale and derailed all my exercise. Set up my paper journal to track my exercise goals in July and began testing them out yesterday! No reason to wait until July :) I’ve found that the graphs and paper journal help me reflect , focus and high 5 myself … something about all those colored pencils and doodles!
    Day 89: Fri, 7/2: 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 No walking long car ride, plank, squats, 1853 cal, 102 net carbs, 4 glasses of wine. Hoping this jump is from travel bloat and not actual gain. I was good at fast food ordering grilled chicken melt no bun at Whataburger and then dinner was jambalaya. But the wine and less water might have just taken me over the edge.
    Day 90: Sat, 7/3: 207.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 [/b] Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, squats, 1850 cal, 86 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Caught 16” speckled trout but due to the freeze earlier this year the TPWD narrowed the slot size from 15”-25” to 17”-23”. Catch & Release. No fish tacos :(

    13th Week Actual Weight: 207.4
    WRONG DIRECTION! But better than last week’s high reading.
    Day 91: Sun, 7/4: 207.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .3 miles, fishing, squats, 2219 cal, 112 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
    Day 92: Mon, 7/5: 208.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .6 miles, fishing, squats, 1399 cal, 82 net carbs, 1 glass wine, 1 Heineken 0.0. I’m not sure what caused this upswing ?????
    Day 93: Tues, 7/6: 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2 miles, long car drive, 1565 cal, 67 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Avoided fast food on the drive but then succumbed to frozen pizza with extra fresh mozzarella when we arrived home in the evening. Expecting rain for the rest of the week.
    Day 94: Wed, 7/7: 206.4 Walked 1.2 + 1.3 + 1 miles walking my dog and my daughter’s 2 dogs, 1317 cal, 86 net carbs, AF.
    Day 95: Thurs, 7/8: 205.7 Walked 2.4 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, plank, squats, hand weights, 1642 cal, 32 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Really busy day but no excuse … made the time to exercise! Decided Wednesdays would be my weekly push on attempting all my exercises.
    I’ve had the 195 target goal for the last couple of 100 day rounds and don’t seem to get even close! I’ll be very happy to finish this round under 205 … or anything below by original 207 from the beginning of the 100 days. What this proves to me is that I need to keep on the downward trend, pay attention and quit this volleyball action of going up and then losing the same pounds again and again.
    Day 96: Fri, 7/9: 206.1 Walked 3 miles, 1699 cal, 118 net carbs, AF. Snickers of all things! Then ice cream! Cutting back on salty crunchy snacks and I start craving of all things … sweet which is not my usual cravings.
    Day 97: Sat, 7/10: 206.1 Rain, no exercise, 2001 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

    14th Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
    14th Week Actual Weight: 206.1
    Progress but feel like a volleyball!

    Day 98: Sun, 7/11: 205.4 Walked 2.75 miles, trimmed tree limbs, 1678 cal, 81 net carbs. Better start this week and only a few days left. No excuses … need to hit my mini goal so I can end these 100 days with a minor loss.
    Day 99: Mon, 7/12: 204.9 Walk 2 miles, bike, plank, squats, hand weights, 1757 cal, 89 net carbs, AF.
    Day 100: Tues, 7/13:

    Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 149.8 weighed earlier than usual so could have been lower
    Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 152 Had bad day yesterday. Happens every time I lose weight – I start off great then regress.
    Week 1 GAIN: +3.2

    Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 151

    April Loss: -5.8

    Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 144.6
    Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable. This has to be some major water retention.

    Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 147.2

    Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 143.8
    Day 51: Tue, 5/25: 143.4
    Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 144 Had Mexican food last night, just chicken tacos, tortilla chips, refried bean dip and salsa. Didn't eat to the point of feeling full, and was within calories (including exercise) if I input the correct info. The restaurant didn't have nutrition info available, so I used info in MFP food database. Suspect this bump up is sodium so I'll be hitting the H2O hard today. My goal is to be 142.x Friday.

    Day 61: Fri, 6/4: 141.2

    Day 63: Sun, 6/6: 146.2 Attended my goddaughter's graduation party where there was barbeque, crawfish, and a chocolate fountain. Weight is up today, but I don't care.

    Week 10 GAIN: +0.2

    Day 72: Tue, 6/15: 144.8 Had a rough weekend, and was too scared to get on the scale lol! They say eventually old habits die off. Not true for me; they are always lurking just below the surface.

    Thanks @Miyoka_Tata :)
    I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
    Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
    UGW 110-115

    This is my 6th 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. Round 5 loss 4.6.
    23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
    I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
    I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.

    Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green
    Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
    Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
    Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
    Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
    Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green

    Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 133.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
    Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
    Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
    Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green
    Day 11: Thurs, 4/15:: 132.1 - Good, back to last week's EW. 822 in the Green
    Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 131.5 - Lowest so far on this journey, fluctuations may happen, but touching it for the first time feels great. 7 in the Green
    Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 133.3 - Delicious Ribs last night. Honey Garlic variety this time. Kind of worth the almost 2 pound gain, and expected. I will work it off over the next week. I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green

    Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green
    Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 134.2 : - ( 689 in the Green
    Day 16: Tues, 4/20: 133.0 - Better, but 16 days in and only 0.1 under my start weight. Sticking with it. 899 in the Green
    Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 132.9 - I have been battling a sore shoulder for 2 weeks, still working out, but modifying. 1187 in the Green
    Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
    Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
    Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green


    Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
    Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
    Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
    Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning. 867 in the green
    Day 25: Thurs, 4/29: 132.2 - Planning on having something a bit more indulgent tonight after work. 570 in the Green
    Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
    Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green

    Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
    Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
    Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
    Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
    Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green
    Day 33: Fri, 5/7: 131.3 - Another weird food choice day. I stayed within calories. Vaccine day 102 in the Green
    Day 34: Sat, 5/8: 133.8 - Ouch. I will try to get lots of activity in today. 603 in the Green

    Day 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
    Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
    Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
    Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
    Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
    Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
    Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green

    Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
    Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
    Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
    Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
    Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
    Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month. 748 in the RED
    Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

    Day 49: Sun, 5/23: 131.9 - A much more "normal" schedule heading into this week. 803 in the Green
    Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 130.2 - Very happy to see this number, I have been jumping around this whole 100 so far. Maybe starting to lose a bit finally. 846 in the Green
    Day 51: Tues, 5/25: 131.6 - No reason for the gain, so not sweating it. 306 in the Green
    Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 131.1 - Beginning split shifts for the rest of the week, modification of eating times and choices will have to happen. 674 in the Green
    Day 53: Thurs, 5/27: 131.9 - Worked a split yesterday, so a late dinner. 97 in the Green
    Day 54: Fri, 5/28: 133.5 - Argh 387 in the Green
    Day 55: Sat, 5/29: 133.8 - Well, the week's weight numbers were good until the last couple. Working so much and not finding time for more activity. 623 in the Green
    Day 56: Sun, 5/30: 132.9 - It has been a challenge for me recently with a hectic schedule. This will be for at least 1 more month, I will have to figure out my nutrition. 749 in the Green
    Day 57: Mon, 5/31: 132.2 - I will be finished work at a reasonable hour today, so will get in a healthy dinner which I will prep this morning.
    Day 58: Tues, 6/1: 132.6 - Working until 9pm tonight and tomorrow - long days for 2, I will have to change up my eating. 1238 in the Green
    Day 59: Wed, 6/2: 132.3 - Astounding amount of calories burned yesterday during work breaks that added up. Pre-logging and prepping food because I am time crunched. 757 in the Green
    Day 60: Thurs, 6/3: 130.9 - Surprised (in a happy way) to see this number once again. We broke heat records here yesterday, maybe it was sweat lol. 855 in the Green
    Day 61: Fri, 6/4: 131.1- Healthy dinner prepped, my go-to: marinated (or sometimes rubbed) chicken breast on the George Foreman grill, 3 or 4 veggies, 1/2 cup basmati, condiments (sour cream and mayo, 1/4 tbsp butter). 733 in the Green
    Day 62: Sat, 6/5: 132.0 - Dissapointed with what the scale said this morning, really thought that it would be less. 221 in the Green

    Day 63: Sun, 6/6: 133.4 - Above my start weight for the 100 : - ( 698 in the Green
    Day 64: Mon, 6/7: 132.0 - Okay. 981 in the Green

    Day 67: Thurs, 6/10: 131.3 - It will be a late dinner tonight, I have a long work day today. 660 in the Green
    Day 68: Fri, 6/11: 131.2 - Oooohh, maybe I will hit that weekly ongoing goal finally! We'll see : - ) 229 in the Green
    Day 69: Sat, 6/12: 132.0 - I always seem to be up on the Saturday weigh-ins, so haven't hit my weekly goal this whole 100 even though I have been under it many times. Keeping at it. 571 in the Green

    Day 70: Sun, 6/13: 132.1 - I will be having a split shift schedule at the restaurant starting Wednesday of this week, finishing at 9pm. I will have to figure out/change my eating. Truth is I love to eat lots of veggies with my dinner, specifically Brussels Sprouts (very filling, yummy, and nutritious), so don't want to eat dinner before my evening shift if you catch my drift. (gassy lol) 683 in the Green
    Day 71: Mon, 6/14: 132.9 - No reason for a gain, so hoping to see a better result on the scale tomorrow. 483 in the Green
    Day 72: Tues, 6/15: 133.3 - Above my start weight! I quite expected a drop this morning. Taking it in stride, I turned that frown upside down by having my coffee (and blueberries) out on my covered front porch watching a thunderstorm : - ) 264 in the Green
    Day 73: Wed, 6/16: 133.0 - Very disheartened to be into these 133s again. Not even sure why. I will stick with the plan. I was looking forward to my monthly Ribs for Saturday or Sunday, but I may have to forego them this month. 1083 in the Green
    Day 74: Thurs, 6/17: 132.4 - Ended up burning a whopping amount of calories yesterday between various things. Still higher than I want to be, but glad to not be in the 133s this morning! 811 in the Green
    Day 75: Fri, 6/18: 131.9 - Large calorie burn again. I was so tired that I only ate 1/2 of my dinner. Now I have dinner already made for tonight : - ) (Ground chicken pesto burger on Brioche, delicious) 810 in the Green
    Day 76: Sat, 6/19: 131.6 - Still haven't hit that 2 pound loss yet, 24 days left of this 100, and i certainly had hoped to lose more than 2! Really wanting Ribs or some other indulgence, but I don't want to derail. 955 in the Green

    Day 77: Sun, 6/20: 131.2 - Very very late dinner because I worked late (and a lot) yesterday, and will be working late again today. I will be having the other half of my dinner from last night, ground chicken pesto burger on Brioche with potato patties. 475 in the Green
    Day 78: Mon, 6/21: 131.3 - Working out of town today, taking healthy snacks with me, I will get a nice workout in before the drive. 289 in the Green
    Day 79: Tues, 6/22: 132.7 - Argh 818 in the Green
    Day 80: Wed, 6/23: 133.0 - The only change this week is that I have doubled my H20 this week during the heatwave. Very frustrating. 805 in the Green
    Day 81: Thurs, 6/24: 132.8 - I suppose that I won't be having my Ribs this month. Pretty frustrated with the scale. 795 in the Green
    Day 82: Fri, 6/25: 133.2 - Ouch. 462 in the Green
    Day 83: Sat, 6/26: 134.0 - Pretty sad about this. 1271 in the Green

    Day 84: Sun, 6/27: 133.0 - Our heatwave is continuing with even hotter temps forecast for this week. Huge calorie burn yesterday, my first day off since May 14.21, so did a marathon of work in the yard and garden. 707 in the Green
    Day 85: Mon, 6/28: 133.2 - Decided not to get so upset about the scale with this heatwave going on and with the doubled water consumption affecting my weight. It is to last all week, but I need to stay hydrated. 378
    Day 86: Tues, 6/29: 132.7 - Today through Thursday are forecast to be the hottest here. Doing Census job only in the early mornings before my restaurant job. 935 in the Green
    Day 87: Wed, 6/30: 133.7 - No reason to gain a whole pound. Possibly my body is just holding on to everything while this heat wave rages on. 854 in the Green
    Day 88: Thurs, 7/1: 131.8 - Got up this morning at 6 and felt tired. I went back to bed until 8am which is very unusual for me and got this nice weight from a bit of extra sleep. 188 in the Green
    Day 89: Fri, 7/2: 132.9 - Had Ribs last night. I moved a few calories over to today to balance it out, so I will eat light today. My sugar snap peas are ready on the vines : - ) 1126 in the Green
    Day 90: Sat, 7/3: 131.7 - Burned a gazillion calories yesterday in the yard. Quit another job so finally had time to start to catch up on my neglected gardens. More of that will happen today too. 2 full days off!! 249 in the Green
    Day 91 Sun July 04 - 132.3 - The Ribs are still catching up with me from Friday as expected. 529 in the Green
    Day 92 Mon July 05 - 133.2 - Above start weight, Ouch. Only 7 more weigh days for this 100!!! 245 in the Green
    Day 93 Tues July 06 - 132.4 - Up and down and all around. 776 in the Green
    Day 94 Wed July 07 - 132.1 - Okay, down 1 pound from day 1, hoping to get at least one more off even though we have only 5 more weigh days. 58 in the Green
    Day 95 Thurs July 08 - 133.0 - Consumed back almost all of my deficit, that never works for me. 807 in the Green
    Day 96 Fri July 09 - 133.2 - Not happy to see this number. Getting my 2nd vaccine today after work though, so that is something positive. 180 in the Green
    Day 97 Sat July 10 - 133.5 - Kind of celebrated a little after work having had the second shot in the morning. 200 in the Green

    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5089 - more than enough to lose a pound.

    Day 77 – 06/20 …..200.2……
    Day 78 – 06/21 …..199.0…… Onederland! Not confident until 197 that I’ll stay in Onederland, but I’ve touched the hem of it and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Yesterday I ate 1190 calories but it was a bit of a lazy day. Just as it has been for the past several days, I was shy by 2000 steps of my 10,000 goal. Rainy and cold today. It will have to be all inside activity. I’m just so happy today. Dancing on the grave of the 200’s here. Gotta make this last!
    Day 79 – 06/22 …..198.8…… Met my step goal. I am happy to be able to proceed in my eating plan without sugar drop interruptions or lactose bloat (so far). All is going so well and I just have to run with it while my body is letting me. I appreciate any drop on the scale as it puts me closer to healthy, even this small 0.2 drop.
    Day 80 – 06/23 …..197.4…… There it is! 197 point anything! NOW I feel like I’m really in Onederland! Yesterday I increased my steps by 50% over the past few days and I threw in a couple of dancing songs. It was a meatless day filled with mainly veggies, a little dairy and a small amount of grains. Today is the hair dressers so I’ll be sitting more than usual. Tomorrow my son goes in and we will have dinner out afterward (a tradition). There were years when getting his hair cut was EXTREMELY difficult due to his autism. A promise of a nice dinner out afterwards has always helped. I will hang onto Onederland for dear life so that my June 25th weigh-in will still find me under the 200 mark. I’m so happy that my body is working with me right now. That is not always the case. Thanks to everyone for the shout-outs and likes!
    Day 81 – 06/24 …..197.8…… 3 meals and no fasting yesterday. All the meals were healthy and lower calorie with carbs eyed carefully, but it still adds up. I ate breakfast (I usually don’t) in anticipation of my long hair appointment. As a diabetic, I am always afraid my glucose will drop drastically when I am away from home or food, thus the light breakfast. I kept the calories at around 1600-1700 which is way less than I burned but it shows up on the scale like it wants to. I will consider yesterday and today my higher calorie days to keep my metabolism pumping. However, I will not go overboard. At my age, and with my thyroid and diabetes conditions, I can’t afford to let my metabolism get any more sluggish than it already is. Gotta trick it!
    Day 82 - 06/25 …..198.6…… My 2 days of outings are over and I plan on being home all day. Expecting thunderstorms so I am stringing together some indoor activity. Fasting 16/8 today and eating the other half of my restaurant lunch from yesterday for dinner tonight. Not exactly in my diet plan but the quantity is good. I’m happy I only ate ½ of it yesterday. I honestly could have eaten it all but I stopped when I was satisfied, not when I was stuffed. A small change that is adding up. I will compensate in my snacks to keep within my 1200-1400 calorie range today. Tomorrow I attend a wedding and of course, there will be food. Socially this has been a rough week for me but I’m compensating when and where I can so that I can still enjoy those special moments. Hoping to get below 195 by the end of this round so I won’t be letting anything interfere with that goal. If makeup days are needed, I will have them.
    Day 83 – 06/26 …..198.6…… A great day yesterday on the diet front and also with some increased planned exercise. I was hoping the scale would go down a bit, but sometimes it just fights back a bit. No TMI always makes my scale a bit higher than I like so I will patiently await. Today is the wedding. Outdoors, in thunderstorms with flood warnings. I’m not looking forward to it. Hopefully I can keep my calories reasonable at the reception but I know who I am….and that may not be in the cards. I’ll try. I promise I will try…..
    Day 84 – 06/27 …..199.0…… This weigh-in hurt a little. The wedding was wet but lovely. The storms held off but the raining never stopped. I kept the meal reasonable but the food was not the type normally in my weight loss plan. The biggest mistake was the hunger last night. I chose to eat almonds (the fat would be filling) but I did not count them out. I am sure I ate too many and certainly ate them too late. Tomorrow I travel. It will be a long day with meals out. Not what I needed at this exact moment but it can’t wait. So today I will be extra mindful. Rain expected for a least 12 hours day. Activity will be difficult as I have a worker coming over today for my project. I will fit in what I can but lack of privacy hurts.
    Day 85 – 06/28…..197.6……. I had to cancel trip today. I was so sick yesterday evening and all night. A little better today but not 100% Possible gall bladder or diverticulitis attack, probably from too many almonds day before yesterday. Horrid pain. This is a big overnight drop on the scale. Probably from such little eating yesterday (it hurt too bad) and from dehydration. We’ll see what the next few days bring as this is probably a little lower than my weight realistically is.
    Day 86 – 06/29 …..197.6…… 900 calories and only 2000 steps for the entire day! No loss due to inactivity. No gain due to minimal calories. I probably should have went to the hospital but it is over an hour away in another county and they are simple emergencies only. No specialists on board including gastrologist. I would have been sent by ambulance to yet another hospital several hours away more than likely, and all of this at night. The closest hospital is so small you cannot even have a baby there. You are shipped out downstate. So it is a dreaded process that I just did not feel like going through. The instinct was that I just needed to go to the bathroom to solve most of the problem. So far I’m feeling a touch better but my stomach is tender and I dread trying to eat. I can’t believe how fast this 100 days is going! This is the first time in a long time (if ever) that I’ve actually dropped some pounds. Keeping up the momentum as best I can. The sickness will pass but the good habits need to last forever. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on this challenge (as well as the other challenges.)
    Day 87 – 06/30 …..196.4…… I ate pretty bland and spice free yesterday to stay on the safe side. Otherwise, I did start to feel much better. I’ve dropped a pound overnight, likely from the illness. Back to business now! I took my new cat in this morning to get her fixed and chipped. She’ll stay overnight and I’ll pick her up early in the morning. The vet is a bit of a travel, but a quick non-lingering pickup will mean I can keep my meals at home and within plan. No restaurants necessary. That is a win! I’ve already crushed my goal for the challenge. The question is……Can I hold onto the loss? I am going to take off my Doubting Thomas hat and say YES!

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 10 pounds Lost!!!!
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..11.2 Pounds Lost



    Day 88 – 07/01 …..197.6……I gained a pound overnight but I think this is likely my true weight. The lower weight yesterday likely from being sick. Today I will focus on more movement and plenty of water. Picked up cat early this morning out-of-town. She is doing well. No running, jumping or playing (??) allowed for up to 14 days. How in the world am I supposed to stop all that??? Her stitches will come out in 10-14 days. She’s a sweet girl.
    Day 99 – 07/02 …..198.6…… Ouch! Yesterday was my son’s birthday so there was the food….the cake…..the ice cream….. on to a better day today but there is travel tomorrow. A pretty l…o…n…g trip. Will involve multiple meals out. Gotta hang onto Onederland. There have been way more variables this past week. Today I will Intermittent fast to cut down on my eating times and ultimately calories too. All healthy food today. More movement too.
    Day 90 – 07/03 …..197.8…… I kept the day pretty good although in reality, it could have been filled with some better choices. Calories were fair though. Movement a bit better but still short of my personal goal. I am back down nearly a pound again this morning. Preparing for my travel today. I know the scale will be up due to the restaurants and all the sitting. I will be spending next week making amends. American Holiday tomorrow too. This is classic Life Getting In The Way, but I will get through it and come out the other side triumphant!
    Day 91 – 07/04 …..199.2…… I expected this. Today is our Independence Day holiday. I will NOT be overeating today. Back in the saddle and all that stuff…..
    Day 92 – 07/05 …..198.0…… Kept the calories down, even during the holiday. The choices could have been better again but the quantities were low enough to stay within calorie goal. Working on making today a little healthier. My stress levels, however, are through the roof so it’s extra difficult right now as I tend to eat my emotions at times. Chin up, Donna! Stay positive!
    Day 93 – 07/06 …..197.4…… Happy to see this back down. Today I travel again. My lady friend who is going with me never gets Chinese food (we live in a horse & buggy type town) so we will be having a late lunch at the Chinese Thai restaurant. I know that will bloat me up and we are so close to the end of the challenge, but truthfully, I am looking forward to it. I will only eat half and save the rest for a later dinner tonight or a lunch tomorrow. I’m still learning to enjoy the things I love without too much damage to my weight. Quantities will count today!
    Day 94 – 07/07 …..198.0…… Uptick expected after travel. Leftovers later today may also send my trend upward but I know it is temporary. It’s only a meal, not a feast. However, we are very close to the end of this challenge. I am hoping to end well! My stress levels are still through the roof. Gotta get thru today and tomorrow. I need prayers from you all for victory tomorrow and peace!
    Day 95 – 07/08 …..198.4…… Uptick from the leftovers. Dawn b get healthy, I almost always get the red curry. Yum! I have 2 workers here today but I will try to walk off some of the stress. Thanks to all for the good vibes & prayers. It really does help to have your support.
    Day 96 – 07/09 …..196.6…… Wow! I got through yesterday’s stresses with about 50% success in the results. Half is better than nothing I suppose. Feeling less pressure today for sure! I ate so-so yesterday but I believe this whoosh is just to get me back down after the Thai Food water retention. I’m going for more steps today. They have been sorely under the last few days. High 70’s today and beautiful. Finally no rain!
    Day 97 – 07/10 …..197.6…… Drats! Ice Cream. Need I say more?
    Day 98 – 07/11 …..197.6…… I’ll work harder today.
    Day 99 – 07/12……195.8…… Not enough water yesterday and still short on my steps, but my meal choices were better. It payed off. 11.2 pounds down since the start of this challenge. That is the best I have done in a couple of years! I’m going to try to be pretty perfect today. I have a very bad history of self-sabotage every time I do well. NOT TODAY, CITIZENS, NOT TODAY!!!!

    @Chalmation - Congrats on the new decade! WooooHoooo

    @deepwoodslady - Your diligence over the past month has really paid off!! Congrats on making it to Onederland and keeping it off.

    @dawnbgethealthy - No discouragement here! You've done great over the past year and the recent challenges were just that ... a challenge. BUT you've got this. You'll have more time to focus on yourself, chance to float around the lakes, hike the trails and get those stubborn pounds off. Love your meal advice on the other thread to Donna. I personally like my Brussels sprouts roasted or shredded sautéed. :) But it sounds like you've found what works for you. I'm testing out a new recipe tonight :) of course. I like to change it up.

    @cpanus and @Shannonsto - Ya'll are a real inspiration. Love how you've dropped the lbs and don't seem to regain. Keep it up.

    100 Days of Accountability 4/4-7/13
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 60, 5’3”

    History & Goals

    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * Onederland: 199
    * Weigh less than DH: 200-204 TBD since he is losing weight as well. ✔️:)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

Took my mom for her followup with doc that did surgery on her broken wrist before our trip then lunch out with my mom & DD. Good day though I did get into the snacks in the evening! DH was at an Astros game. But then better snacks than drinking alone.
    Day 87: Wed, 6/30: 205.9 Walked 2.4 miles, last .5 mile running in the rain to get home quickly but drenched, 1605 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine.
    Day 88: Thurs, 7/1: 206.2 Walk 3.3 miles, 1 min plank, 10 squats, hand weight routine, bike 30 min, 1751 cal, 98 net carbs, 2 glasses wine dining out. Pretty sure that the unexpected Italian dinner out showed up on the scale and derailed all my exercise. Set up my paper journal to track my exercise goals in July and began testing them out yesterday! No reason to wait until July :) I’ve found that the graphs and paper journal help me reflect , focus and high 5 myself … something about all those colored pencils and doodles!
    Day 89: Fri, 7/2: 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 No walking long car ride, plank, squats, 1853 cal, 102 net carbs, 4 glasses of wine. Hoping this jump is from travel bloat and not actual gain. I was good at fast food ordering grilled chicken melt no bun at Whataburger and then dinner was jambalaya. But the wine and less water might have just taken me over the edge.
    Day 90: Sat, 7/3: 207.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 [/b] Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, squats, 1850 cal, 86 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Caught 16” speckled trout but due to the freeze earlier this year the TPWD narrowed the slot size from 15”-25” to 17”-23”. Catch & Release. No fish tacos :(

    13th Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
    13th Week Actual Weight: 207.4
    WRONG DIRECTION! But better than last week’s high reading.
    Day 91: Sun, 7/4: 207.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .3 miles, fishing, squats, 2219 cal, 112 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
    Day 92: Mon, 7/5: 208.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 + .6 miles, fishing, squats, 1399 cal, 82 net carbs, 1 glass wine, 1 Heineken 0.0. I’m not sure what caused this upswing ?????
    Day 93: Tues, 7/6: 207.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2 miles, long car drive, 1565 cal, 67 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Avoided fast food on the drive but then succumbed to frozen pizza with extra fresh mozzarella when we arrived home in the evening. Expecting rain for the rest of the week.
    Day 94: Wed, 7/7: 206.4 Walked 1.2 + 1.3 + 1 miles walking my dog and my daughter’s 2 dogs, 1317 cal, 86 net carbs, AF.
    Day 95: Thurs, 7/8: 205.7 Walked 2.4 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, plank, squats, hand weights, 1642 cal, 32 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Really busy day but no excuse … made the time to exercise! Decided Wednesdays would be my weekly push on attempting all my exercises.
    I’ve had the 195 target goal for the last couple of 100 day rounds and don’t seem to get even close! I’ll be very happy to finish this round under 205 … or anything below by original 207 from the beginning of the 100 days. What this proves to me is that I need to keep on the downward trend, pay attention and quit this volleyball action of going up and then losing the same pounds again and again.
    Day 96: Fri, 7/9: 206.1 Walked 3 miles, 1699 cal, 118 net carbs, AF. Snickers of all things! Then ice cream! Cutting back on salty crunchy snacks and I start craving of all things … sweet which is not my usual cravings.
    Day 97: Sat, 7/10: 206.1 Rain, no exercise, 2001 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

    14th Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
    14th Week Actual Weight: 206.1
    Progress but feel like a volleyball!

    Day 98: Sun, 7/11: 205.4 Walked 2.75 miles, trimmed tree limbs, 1678 cal, 81 net carbs. Better start this week and only a few days left. No excuses … need to hit my mini goal so I can end these 100 days with a minor loss.
    Day 99: Mon, 7/12: 204.9 Walk 2 miles, bike, plank, squats, hand weights, 1757 cal, 89 net carbs, AF.
    Day 100: Tues, 7/13: 205.2 Walk 3.8 + .7 + .4 miles, 1899 cal, 92 net carbs, 1 glass wine.

    15th Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
    15th Week Actual Weight: 205.2


    Challenge Starting Weight: 207
    Challenge Goal: <200
    Challenge Ending Weight: 205.2
    Total Weight Loss for Challenge: 1.8
    At least it is a loss no matter how small. It had the chance the whole time to be much higher. Too many ups and downs this round. I need to pull my life and my plan back together and make more headway for the year.

    Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 149.8 weighed earlier than usual so could have been lower
    Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 152 Had bad day yesterday. Happens every time I lose weight – I start off great then regress.

    Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 144.6
    Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable. This has to be some major water retention.

    Day 51: Tue, 5/25: 143.4
    Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 144 Had Mexican food last night, just chicken tacos, tortilla chips, refried bean dip and salsa. Didn't eat to the point of feeling full, and was within calories (including exercise) if I input the correct info. The restaurant didn't have nutrition info available, so I used info in MFP food database. Suspect this bump up is sodium so I'll be hitting the H2O hard today. My goal is to be 142.x Friday.

    Day 63: Sun, 6/6: 146.2 Attended my goddaughter's graduation party where there was barbeque, crawfish, and a chocolate fountain. Weight is up today, but I don't care.

    Week 10 GAIN: +0.2

    Day 72: Tue, 6/15: 144.8 Had a rough weekend, and was too scared to get on the scale lol! They say eventually old habits die off. Not true for me; they are always lurking just below the surface.

    Day 77 – 06/20 …..200.2……
    Day 78 – 06/21 …..199.0…… Onederland! Not confident until 197 that I’ll stay in Onederland, but I’ve touched the hem of it and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Yesterday I ate 1190 calories but it was a bit of a lazy day. Just as it has been for the past several days, I was shy by 2000 steps of my 10,000 goal. Rainy and cold today. It will have to be all inside activity. I’m just so happy today. Dancing on the grave of the 200’s here. Gotta make this last!
    Day 79 – 06/22 …..198.8…… Met my step goal. I am happy to be able to proceed in my eating plan without sugar drop interruptions or lactose bloat (so far). All is going so well and I just have to run with it while my body is letting me. I appreciate any drop on the scale as it puts me closer to healthy, even this small 0.2 drop.
    Day 80 – 06/23 …..197.4…… There it is! 197 point anything! NOW I feel like I’m really in Onederland! Yesterday I increased my steps by 50% over the past few days and I threw in a couple of dancing songs. It was a meatless day filled with mainly veggies, a little dairy and a small amount of grains. Today is the hair dressers so I’ll be sitting more than usual. Tomorrow my son goes in and we will have dinner out afterward (a tradition). There were years when getting his hair cut was EXTREMELY difficult due to his autism. A promise of a nice dinner out afterwards has always helped. I will hang onto Onederland for dear life so that my June 25th weigh-in will still find me under the 200 mark. I’m so happy that my body is working with me right now. That is not always the case. Thanks to everyone for the shout-outs and likes!
    Day 81 – 06/24 …..197.8…… 3 meals and no fasting yesterday. All the meals were healthy and lower calorie with carbs eyed carefully, but it still adds up. I ate breakfast (I usually don’t) in anticipation of my long hair appointment. As a diabetic, I am always afraid my glucose will drop drastically when I am away from home or food, thus the light breakfast. I kept the calories at around 1600-1700 which is way less than I burned but it shows up on the scale like it wants to. I will consider yesterday and today my higher calorie days to keep my metabolism pumping. However, I will not go overboard. At my age, and with my thyroid and diabetes conditions, I can’t afford to let my metabolism get any more sluggish than it already is. Gotta trick it!
    Day 82 - 06/25 …..198.6…… My 2 days of outings are over and I plan on being home all day. Expecting thunderstorms so I am stringing together some indoor activity. Fasting 16/8 today and eating the other half of my restaurant lunch from yesterday for dinner tonight. Not exactly in my diet plan but the quantity is good. I’m happy I only ate ½ of it yesterday. I honestly could have eaten it all but I stopped when I was satisfied, not when I was stuffed. A small change that is adding up. I will compensate in my snacks to keep within my 1200-1400 calorie range today. Tomorrow I attend a wedding and of course, there will be food. Socially this has been a rough week for me but I’m compensating when and where I can so that I can still enjoy those special moments. Hoping to get below 195 by the end of this round so I won’t be letting anything interfere with that goal. If makeup days are needed, I will have them.
    Day 83 – 06/26 …..198.6…… A great day yesterday on the diet front and also with some increased planned exercise. I was hoping the scale would go down a bit, but sometimes it just fights back a bit. No TMI always makes my scale a bit higher than I like so I will patiently await. Today is the wedding. Outdoors, in thunderstorms with flood warnings. I’m not looking forward to it. Hopefully I can keep my calories reasonable at the reception but I know who I am….and that may not be in the cards. I’ll try. I promise I will try…..
    Day 84 – 06/27 …..199.0…… This weigh-in hurt a little. The wedding was wet but lovely. The storms held off but the raining never stopped. I kept the meal reasonable but the food was not the type normally in my weight loss plan. The biggest mistake was the hunger last night. I chose to eat almonds (the fat would be filling) but I did not count them out. I am sure I ate too many and certainly ate them too late. Tomorrow I travel. It will be a long day with meals out. Not what I needed at this exact moment but it can’t wait. So today I will be extra mindful. Rain expected for a least 12 hours day. Activity will be difficult as I have a worker coming over today for my project. I will fit in what I can but lack of privacy hurts.
    Day 85 – 06/28…..197.6……. I had to cancel trip today. I was so sick yesterday evening and all night. A little better today but not 100% Possible gall bladder or diverticulitis attack, probably from too many almonds day before yesterday. Horrid pain. This is a big overnight drop on the scale. Probably from such little eating yesterday (it hurt too bad) and from dehydration. We’ll see what the next few days bring as this is probably a little lower than my weight realistically is.
    Day 86 – 06/29 …..197.6…… 900 calories and only 2000 steps for the entire day! No loss due to inactivity. No gain due to minimal calories. I probably should have went to the hospital but it is over an hour away in another county and they are simple emergencies only. No specialists on board including gastrologist. I would have been sent by ambulance to yet another hospital several hours away more than likely, and all of this at night. The closest hospital is so small you cannot even have a baby there. You are shipped out downstate. So it is a dreaded process that I just did not feel like going through. The instinct was that I just needed to go to the bathroom to solve most of the problem. So far I’m feeling a touch better but my stomach is tender and I dread trying to eat. I can’t believe how fast this 100 days is going! This is the first time in a long time (if ever) that I’ve actually dropped some pounds. Keeping up the momentum as best I can. The sickness will pass but the good habits need to last forever. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on this challenge (as well as the other challenges.)
    Day 87 – 06/30 …..196.4…… I ate pretty bland and spice free yesterday to stay on the safe side. Otherwise, I did start to feel much better. I’ve dropped a pound overnight, likely from the illness. Back to business now! I took my new cat in this morning to get her fixed and chipped. She’ll stay overnight and I’ll pick her up early in the morning. The vet is a bit of a travel, but a quick non-lingering pickup will mean I can keep my meals at home and within plan. No restaurants necessary. That is a win! I’ve already crushed my goal for the challenge. The question is……Can I hold onto the loss? I am going to take off my Doubting Thomas hat and say YES!

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 10 pounds Lost!!!!
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..11.2 Pounds Lost



    Day 88 – 07/01 …..197.6……I gained a pound overnight but I think this is likely my true weight. The lower weight yesterday likely from being sick. Today I will focus on more movement and plenty of water. Picked up cat early this morning out-of-town. She is doing well. No running, jumping or playing (??) allowed for up to 14 days. How in the world am I supposed to stop all that??? Her stitches will come out in 10-14 days. She’s a sweet girl.
    Day 99 – 07/02 …..198.6…… Ouch! Yesterday was my son’s birthday so there was the food….the cake…..the ice cream….. on to a better day today but there is travel tomorrow. A pretty l…o…n…g trip. Will involve multiple meals out. Gotta hang onto Onederland. There have been way more variables this past week. Today I will Intermittent fast to cut down on my eating times and ultimately calories too. All healthy food today. More movement too.
    Day 90 – 07/03 …..197.8…… I kept the day pretty good although in reality, it could have been filled with some better choices. Calories were fair though. Movement a bit better but still short of my personal goal. I am back down nearly a pound again this morning. Preparing for my travel today. I know the scale will be up due to the restaurants and all the sitting. I will be spending next week making amends. American Holiday tomorrow too. This is classic Life Getting In The Way, but I will get through it and come out the other side triumphant!
    Day 91 – 07/04 …..199.2…… I expected this. Today is our Independence Day holiday. I will NOT be overeating today. Back in the saddle and all that stuff…..
    Day 92 – 07/05 …..198.0…… Kept the calories down, even during the holiday. The choices could have been better again but the quantities were low enough to stay within calorie goal. Working on making today a little healthier. My stress levels, however, are through the roof so it’s extra difficult right now as I tend to eat my emotions at times. Chin up, Donna! Stay positive!
    Day 93 – 07/06 …..197.4…… Happy to see this back down. Today I travel again. My lady friend who is going with me never gets Chinese food (we live in a horse & buggy type town) so we will be having a late lunch at the Chinese Thai restaurant. I know that will bloat me up and we are so close to the end of the challenge, but truthfully, I am looking forward to it. I will only eat half and save the rest for a later dinner tonight or a lunch tomorrow. I’m still learning to enjoy the things I love without too much damage to my weight. Quantities will count today!
    Day 94 – 07/07 …..198.0…… Uptick expected after travel. Leftovers later today may also send my trend upward but I know it is temporary. It’s only a meal, not a feast. However, we are very close to the end of this challenge. I am hoping to end well! My stress levels are still through the roof. Gotta get thru today and tomorrow. I need prayers from you all for victory tomorrow and peace!
    Day 95 – 07/08 …..198.4…… Uptick from the leftovers. Dawn b get healthy, I almost always get the red curry. Yum! I have 2 workers here today but I will try to walk off some of the stress. Thanks to all for the good vibes & prayers. It really does help to have your support.
    Day 96 – 07/09 …..196.6…… Wow! I got through yesterday’s stresses with about 50% success in the results. Half is better than nothing I suppose. Feeling less pressure today for sure! I ate so-so yesterday but I believe this whoosh is just to get me back down after the Thai Food water retention. I’m going for more steps today. They have been sorely under the last few days. High 70’s today and beautiful. Finally no rain!
    Day 97 – 07/10 …..197.6…… Drats! Ice Cream. Need I say more?
    Day 98 – 07/11 …..197.6…… I’ll work harder today.
    Day 99 – 07/12……195.8…… Not enough water yesterday and still short on my steps, but my meal choices were better. It payed off. 11.2 pounds down since the start of this challenge. That is the best I have done in a couple of years! I’m going to try to be pretty perfect today. I have a very bad history of self-sabotage every time I do well. NOT TODAY, CITIZENS, NOT TODAY!!!!
    Day 100 –07/13 (Final Weight In)……195.2…… 12.4 pounds lost this round. Truly, it is like a miracle! It is not that I haven’t worked for it, because I have. But working hard and doing so many of the right things nearly all the time doesn’t always show up for me. I hope I can keep my resolve and continue with the progress. I know this is helping my diabetes although I will officially find out in August. My last appointment with the doctor, they nearly called an ambulance. Lots of progress for everyone this round in so many different ways. I hope to see everyone next 100.

    Thanks @Miyoka_Tata :)
    I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
    Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
    UGW 110-115

    This is my 6th 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. Round 5 loss 4.6.
    23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
    I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
    I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.

    Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green
    Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
    Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
    Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
    Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
    Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green

    Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 13
    3.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
    Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
    Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
    Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green
    Day 11: Thurs, 4/15:: 132.1 - Good, back to last week's EW. 822 in the Green
    Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 131.5 - Lowest so far on this journey, fluctuations may happen, but touching it for the first time feels great. 7 in the Green
    Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 133.3 - Delicious Ribs last night. Honey Garlic variety this time. Kind of worth the almost 2 pound gain, and expected. I will work it off over the next week. I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green

    Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green
    Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 134.2 : - ( 689 in the Green
    Day 16: Tues, 4/20: 133.0 - Better, but 16 days in and only 0.1 under my start weight. Sticking with it. 899 in the Green
    Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 132.9 - I have been battling a sore shoulder for 2 weeks, still working out, but modifying. 1187 in the Green
    Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
    Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
    Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green


    Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
    Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
    Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
    Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning. 867 in the green
    Day 25: Thurs, 4/29: 132.2 - Planning on having something a bit more indulgent tonight after work. 570 in the Green
    Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
    Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green

    Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
    Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
    Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
    Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
    Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green
    Day 33: Fri, 5/7: 131.3 - Another weird food choice day. I stayed within calories. Vaccine day 102 in the Green
    Day 34: Sat, 5/8: 133.8 - Ouch. I will try to get lots of activity in today. 603 in the Green

    Day 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
    Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
    Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
    Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
    Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
    Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
    Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green

    Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
    Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
    Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
    Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
    Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
    Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month. 748 in the RED
    Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

    Day 49: Sun, 5/23: 131.9 - A much more "normal" schedule heading into this week. 803 in the Green
    Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 130.2 - Very happy to see this number, I have been jumping around this whole 100 so far. Maybe starting to lose a bit finally. 846 in the Green
    Day 51: Tues, 5/25: 131.6 - No reason for the gain, so not sweating it. 306 in the Green
    Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 131.1 - Beginning split shifts for the rest of the week, modification of eating times and choices will have to happen. 674 in the Green
    Day 53: Thurs, 5/27: 131.9 - Worked a split yesterday, so a late dinner. 97 in the Green
    Day 54: Fri, 5/28: 133.5 - Argh 387 in the Green
    Day 55: Sat, 5/29: 133.8 - Well, the week's weight numbers were good until the last couple. Working so much and not finding time for more activity. 623 in the Green
    Day 56: Sun, 5/30: 132.9 - It has been a challenge for me recently with a hectic schedule. This will be for at least 1 more month, I will have to figure out my nutrition. 749 in the Green
    Day 57: Mon, 5/31: 132.2 - I will be finished work at a reasonable hour today, so will get in a healthy dinner which I will prep this morning.
    Day 58: Tues, 6/1: 132.6 - Working until 9pm tonight and tomorrow - long days for 2, I will have to change up my eating. 1238 in the Green
    Day 59: Wed, 6/2: 132.3 - Astounding amount of calories burned yesterday during work breaks that added up. Pre-logging and prepping food because I am time crunched. 757 in the Green
    Day 60: Thurs, 6/3: 130.9 - Surprised (in a happy way) to see this number once again. We broke heat records here yesterday, maybe it was sweat lol. 855 in the Green
    Day 61: Fri, 6/4: 131.1- Healthy dinner prepped, my go-to: marinated (or sometimes rubbed) chicken breast on the George Foreman grill, 3 or 4 veggies, 1/2 cup basmati, condiments (sour cream and mayo, 1/4 tbsp butter). 733 in the Green
    Day 62: Sat, 6/5: 132.0 - Dissapointed with what the scale said this morning, really thought that it would be less. 221 in the Green

    Day 63: Sun, 6/6: 133.4 - Above my start weight for the 100 : - ( 698 in the Green
    Day 64: Mon, 6/7: 132.0 - Okay. 981 in the Green
    Day 65: Tues, 6/8: 132.0 - Okay. 860 in the Green
    Day 66: Wed, 6/9: 130.9 - I have hit this number before, happy to see it again. 224 in the Green
    Day 67: Thurs, 6/10: 131.3 - It will be a late dinner tonight, I have a long work day today. 660 in the Green
    Day 68: Fri, 6/11: 131.2 - Oooohh, maybe I will hit that weekly ongoing goal finally! We'll see : - ) 229 in the Green
    Day 69: Sat, 6/12: 132.0 - I always seem to be up on the Saturday weigh-ins, so haven't hit my weekly goal this whole 100 even though I have been under it many times. Keeping at it. 571 in the Green

    Day 70: Sun, 6/13: 132.1 - I will be having a split shift schedule at the restaurant starting Wednesday of this week, finishing at 9pm. I will have to figure out/change my eating. Truth is I love to eat lots of veggies with my dinner, specifically Brussels Sprouts (very filling, yummy, and nutritious), so don't want to eat dinner before my evening shift if you catch my drift. (gassy lol) 683 in the Green
    Day 71: Mon, 6/14: 132.9 - No reason for a gain, so hoping to see a better result on the scale tomorrow. 483 in the Green
    Day 72: Tues, 6/15: 133.3 - Above my start weight! I quite expected a drop this morning. Taking it in stride, I turned that frown upside down by having my coffee (and blueberries) out on my covered front porch watching a thunderstorm : - ) 264 in the Green
    Day 73: Wed, 6/16: 133.0 - Very disheartened to be into these 133s again. Not even sure why. I will stick with the plan. I was looking forward to my monthly Ribs for Saturday or Sunday, but I may have to forego them this month. 1083 in the Green
    Day 74: Thurs, 6/17: 132.4 - Ended up burning a whopping amount of calories yesterday between various things. Still higher than I want to be, but glad to not be in the 133s this morning! 811 in the Green
    Day 75: Fri, 6/18: 131.9 - Large calorie burn again. I was so tired that I only ate 1/2 of my dinner. Now I have dinner already made for tonight : - ) (Ground chicken pesto burger on Brioche, delicious) 810 in the Green
    Day 76: Sat, 6/19: 131.6 - Still haven't hit that 2 pound loss yet, 24 days left of this 100, and i certainly had hoped to lose more than 2! Really wanting Ribs or some other indulgence, but I don't want to derail. 955 in the Green

    Day 77: Sun, 6/20: 131.2 - Very very late dinner because I worked late (and a lot) yesterday, and will be working late again today. I will be having the other half of my dinner from last night, ground chicken pesto burger on Brioche with potato patties. 475 in the Green
    Day 78: Mon, 6/21: 131.3 - Working out of town today, taking healthy snacks with me, I will get a nice workout in before the drive. 289 in the Green
    Day 79: Tues, 6/22: 132.7 - Argh 818 in the Green
    Day 80: Wed, 6/23: 133.0 - The only change this week is that I have doubled my H20 this week during the heatwave. Very frustrating. 805 in the Green
    Day 81: Thurs, 6/24: 132.8 - I suppose that I won't be having my Ribs this month. Pretty frustrated with the scale. 795 in the Green
    Day 82: Fri, 6/25: 133.2 - Ouch. 462 in the Green
    Day 83: Sat, 6/26: 134.0 - Pretty sad about this. 1271 in the Green

    Day 84: Sun, 6/27: 133.0 - Our heatwave is continuing with even hotter temps forecast for this week. Huge calorie burn yesterday, my first day off since May 14.21, so did a marathon of work in the yard and garden. 707 in the Green
    Day 85: Mon, 6/28: 133.2 - Decided not to get so upset about the scale with this heatwave going on and with the doubled water consumption affecting my weight. It is to last all week, but I need to stay hydrated. 378
    Day 86: Tues, 6/29: 132.7 - Today through Thursday are forecast to be the hottest here. Doing Census job only in the early mornings before my restaurant job. 935 in the Green
    Day 87: Wed, 6/30: 133.7 - No reason to gain a whole pound. Possibly my body is just holding on to everything while this heat wave rages on. 854 in the Green
    Day 88: Thurs, 7/1: 131.8 - Got up this morning at 6 and felt tired. I went back to bed until 8am which is very unusual for me and got this nice weight from a bit of extra sleep. 188 in the Green
    Day 89: Fri, 7/2: 132.9 - Had Ribs last night. I moved a few calories over to today to balance it out, so I will eat light today. My sugar snap peas are ready on the vines : - ) 1126 in the Green
    Day 90: Sat, 7/3: 131.7 - Burned a gazillion calories yesterday in the yard. Quit another job so finally had time to start to catch up on my neglected gardens. More of that will happen today too. 2 full days off!! 249 in the Green
    Day 91 Sun July 04 - 132.3 - The Ribs are still catching up with me from Friday as expected. 529 in the Green
    Day 92 Mon July 05 - 133.2 - Above start weight, Ouch. Only 7 more weigh days for this 100!!! 245 in the Green
    Day 93 Tues July 06 - 132.4 - Up and down and all around. 776 in the Green
    Day 94 Wed July 07 - 132.1 - Okay, down 1 pound from day 1, hoping to get at least one more off even though we have only 5 more weigh days. 58 in the Green
    Day 95 Thurs July 08 - 133.0 - Consumed back almost all of my deficit, that never works for me. 807 in the Green
    Day 96 Fri July 09 - 133.2 - Not happy to see this number. Getting my 2nd vaccine today after work though, so that is something positive. 180 in the Green
    Day 97 Sat July 10 - 133.5 - Kind of celebrated a little after work having had the second shot in the morning. 200 in the Green

    1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1
    1st Week Actual Weight: 132.1
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 3991 in the Green, still more than enough to lose a pound (3500 cal) even though it was a shorter week.

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Same as last week's goal (which i didn't reach)
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 133.3
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 4770 - more than enough to lose a pound

    3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Running goal until I hit it
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.5
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5295 in the Green, should have lost a pound

    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5224 - More than enough to lose a pound

    10th Week Goal Weight:131.1 - Running goal until I hit it
    10th Week Actual Weight: 132.0 - Was lower than this, but not for the end of week weigh in.
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 4223 - Enough to lose a pound. Really I should have lost 10 lbs already.

    11th Week Goal Weight: - 131.1 Running goal until I hit it
    11th Week Actual Weight: 131.6 - Same as week 4
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5089 - more than enough to lose a pound.

    12th Week Goal Weight: - 131.1 Running goal until I hit it - It would represent a 2 pound loss since the beginning of this 100
    12th Week Actual Weight: 134.0 - Did not want to see this number ever again : - (
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 4915

    13th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 Running goal until I hit it - It would represent a 2 pound loss since the beginning of this 100
    13th Week Actual Weight: 131.7
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 4437 - on track with that



    14th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 Running goal until I hit it - It would represent a 2 pound loss since the beginning of this 100
    14th Week Actual Weight: 133.5 - Above start weight
    Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 2795 deficit, not a good enough recipe for me to lose anything

    Day 98 Sun July 11 - 133.9 -ouch 907 in the Green
    Day 99 Mon July 12 - 134.4 - pretty sad about this, need to get back on track stat. 886 in the Green
    Day 100 Tues July 13 - 133.9 - Disappointed of course, but not giving up.

    Start weight April 05.21: 133.1
    End weight July 13.21 - 133.9 - Gain of 0.8 pounds
    Goal weight 123.1 (I have yet to reach a 10 pound loss in this 100 before, but aiming for it anyway)

    Each week I was in a deficit, but somewhere around halfway through I realized that my pedometre was still on my weight of 158, so not accurate.

    I went from obese to overweight in September of 2020, 131 will put me from overweight to the tippy top of the normal range (110-131) for my height and stuff.

    I hope to hit the 120s this next 100, or the one after.

    It is a pleasure being on this journey with y'all
