100 DAYS OF WEIGHTING IN #9

dawnbgethealthy

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 61, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
UGW 110-115

This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
24.8 pound loss over 601 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 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually! 917 in the Green
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 132.7 - Late dinner last night again due to work schedule. 313 in the Green
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 132.1 - Tonight will be late dinner again. 389 in the Green

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 3866 - Average 552, so should have lost a pound and did.

Day 12 Sun 7/25: 132.4 - My work schedule is posted, I am working the day shifts until Friday, eating dinner earlier will be a benefit to my weight loss I believe. 970 in the Green
Day 13 Mon 7/26: 132.4 - I got a bunch of yard work done yesterday (drop in the bucket) even though it is smoky around here. 1070 in the Green
Day 14 Tues 7/27: 132.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, dance workout to warm up, HIIT with weights to follow, gardening/yard time before work and after work, plus the 300-400 that I usually burn at work running around. Back to start weight. 217 in the Green
Day 15 Wed 7/28: 132.1 55 in the Green
Day 16 Thurs 7/29: 134.8 - Ouch 595 in the Green
Day 17 Fri 7/30: 134.8 - Not happy about this of course, but taking it in stride. Hopefully my 500 deficit that I aim for will average out over the week, I haven't had time for workouts because of being wrapped up trying to fix my car issues. Spent the entire day yesterday buying a new one, but still have to deal with the dead one in the retail parking lot. On evening shifts for the next couple of weeks, so eating times are a challenge for me. 325 in the Green
Day 18 Sat 7/31: 133.8 - Down a pound since yesterday, carved out time to work out. My body will just have to get used to eating late after work. 866 in the Green

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.8 - Gain of 1.4 this week, don't want this to get away from me.
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 4098


Day 19: Sun, 8/1: 132.9 - My internal clock is off working evening shifts, glad to see a tiny drop. Last week was kind of disastrous on the scale. I had planned an indulgent day after tonight's shift, we'll see. 243 in the Green
Day 20: Mon, 8/2: 133.3 - We had a bit of drizzle last night, hoping that it will help with the fires 574 in the Green
Day 21: Tues, 8/3: 133.3 - 738 in the Green
Day 22: Wed, 8/4: 132.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the evening shifts and late dinner. 374 in the Green
Day 23: Thurs, 8/5: 132.8 - was planning some indulgence tonight after work, we'll see. 93 in the Green
Day 24: Fri, 8/6: 134.2 - Had wings last night, but also only 3 hours of sleep and water before weighing at 4am. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be better. Day off today, so will get lots of workouts and yard work done, not another day off until next Thursday. 371 in the Green
Day 25: Sat, 8/7: 134.3 - Wings again 468 in the Green

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 -
4th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 2861 - not enough to lose a pound

Day 26: Sun, 8/8: 136.0 - Double ouch. So hard to lose it, and so quick and easy to put it back on. 675 in the Green
Day 27: Mon, 8/9: 135.5 - It was so nice to eat dinner at a normal time. 1248 in the4 Green!!
Day 28: Tues, 8/10: 132.6 - Ended up with evening shifts after all, on top of day shifts. Burned a tonne yesterday after an unexpected shift. Didn't finish dinner until 11:30pm. 590
Day 29: Wed, 8/11: 131.7 - Very pleased with this, but will try not to get complacent after the huge jump in weight recently. Glad to see the drop a few days after the big calorie burn. Holding off on ribs for this month so far. 407 in the Green
Day 30: Thurs, 8/12: 132.9 - I basically only had snacks and Mojitos with a friend, no dinner. 541 in the Green
Day 31: Fri, 8/13: 134.0 - A couple of indulgent days. 146 in the Green
Day 32: Sat, 8/14: 134.7 - Self-imposed. 781 in the Green

5th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, seems a bit ambitious at this point, but going for it anyway
5th Week Actual Weight: 134.7 - Saw the 131s once this week.
Calorie Deficit totals: (Green on the Tracker) 4388 - enough to lose a pound.

Day 33: Sun, 8/15: 135.9 - Had a good calorie burn yesterday, so expect a good drop over the next couple of days. No reason for the gain today, so last week is still tolling. It always takes a few days in either direction. 581 in the Green
Day 34: Mon, 8/16: 134.4 - Working to get it down this week. 763 in the Green
Day 35: Tues, 8/17: 133.9 - Doing a split today, so dinner will be late. 1193 in the Green
Day 36: Wed, 8/18: 133.1 - Crazy amount of calories burned yesterday - A nice long workout in the morning and then a double shift waitressing where I burned almost 1000 calories running around - it was busy! Had a very late dinner. Normal dinners at normal times for the next 2 at least. 51 in the Green
Day 37: Thurs, 8/19: 134.3 - Not enough of a deficit yesterday. 567 in the Green
Day 38: Fri, 8/20: 134.9 - Disappointed for sure. I have a get together tonight, so am not expecting much of a loss for tomorrow morning. 232 in the Green
Day 39: Sat, 8/21: 134.3 - I know my exercise numbers, but my food numbers will be guestimates at best, lots of snacks with Mojitos - nuts, crackers, cheese etc. Like 1 ounce of cheese or 4? 10 crackers or 50? I am editing now, I went in and overestimated on the snacks. I had burned 1050 (including cutting the grass, work, a work out etc.) so did have a bit of a buffer. 201 in the RED

6th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th.
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie deficit totals: 3186 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 40: Sun, 8/22: 134.7 - I was in the red yesterday, which has only ever happened a couple of times. 453 in the Green
Day 41: Mon, 8/23: 135.6 - Had a great workout and a hike yesterday, even slept as late as possible because I have an evening shift today. Not sure where the spike came from, maybe left over from Friday or Saturday or both. 456 in the Green
Day 42: Tues, 8/24: 135.1 - Sticking with the plan. 499 in the Green
Day 43: Wed, 8/25: 136.4 - Last November's weight : - ( 710 in the Green
Day 44: Thurs, 8/26: 134.4 - Teeter tottering. 250 in the Green
Day 45: Fri, 8/27: 134.8 - CICO was - just okay yesterday. I really don't lose weight if I don't have a 500 in the Green. 774 in the Green
Day 46: Sat, 8/28: 136.5 - Ouch 486 in the Green

7th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th. Kind of unrealistic for this week, but aiming.
7th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Calorie deficit totals: 3628

Day 47: Sun, 8/29: 136.5 - Day off today, I will likely get in some extra activity. My last measurements were at 130.6, not going to be measuring right now lol. Pants are tight for sure. 580 in the green
Day 48: Mon, 8/30: 137.0 - I have really been climbing these past 2 months. Not feeling good about that.
Day 49: Tues, 8/31: 134.7 - Late dinner last night and will be again tonight because I am working a split. I should be happy to see this drop, but am not. I really started the weight climb in July. I will have to turn it around. 1146 in the Green
Day 50: Wed, 9/1: 134.0 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, more than I actually ate!. Double shift, workouts. August is gone and I did not even have Ribs because I am unwilling to stop fighting the battle of the bugle. Halfway mark today, and I am up almost 2 pounds from the start of the 100. Expecting a good drop tomorrow morning reflecting yesterday's huge calorie burn. 951 in the Green
Day 51: Thurs, 9/2: 133.9 - Kind of expected a bigger drop today after cutting the grass, yardwork, workouts, work, and low calories. I haven't had Ribs since July and was thinking that I might have some tonight if my weight was down more. I get a really good discount on Indian Food at the restaurant, but I have been avoiding that as well. Had a bit of a Eureka moment talking to a friend yesterday, I lose most of my weight for the year during skating season - I burn lots of calories and keep my food pretty good year round, is it the joy that skating gives me that changes the chemistry in my body? Or is it that I love skating so much that I do it for longer than other things. Not sure, but have decided to not beat myself up that the weight isn't coming off right now. 377 in the RED
Day 52: Fri, 9/3: 135.3 - Ribs last night. Memphis Dry Rub. Soooo yummy. I may pay for that on the scale for awhile, but it was kind of worth it. 693 in the Green
Day 53: Sat, 9/4: 135.8 - expected to see a Ribs uptick for a couple of days, I'm okay with it. 724 in the Green

8th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Plugging it in again, someday I will hit it, I hit 130.6 last 100
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Calorie deficit totals: 4305 - enough to lose a pound and I came close to that, 0.7 off of day 47

Day 54: Sun, 9/5: 136.3 - Still the aftermath of the Ribs? I was "good" yesterday. 352 in the Green
Day 55: Mon, 9/6: 135.5 - Better. Still paying for Thursday's Ribs, but I am okay with that. 790 in the Green
Day 56: Tues, 9/7: 135.2 No woosh, but steadily coming down. 787 in the Green
Day 57: Wed, 9/8: 135.1 - On split shifts yesterday and today, so late dinners. Glad to still see a small drop. 7 days to get the Ribs off? 1226 in the Green
Day 58: Thurs, 9/9: 134.1 - That is a nice drop. Yesterday's numbers are not sustainable (burned more than I ate!), but glad that they made a difference. 1060 in the Green
Day 59: Fri, 9/10: 133.7 - Planned indulgences tonight after work. 390 in the Green
Day 60: Sat, 9/11: 134.1 - I had some food from Spice Hut, the Indian restaurant where I work. Mutter Paneer. It was really good, I ate half. This is only the second time that I have had food from there since April. With all of the activity that I had, I have skimmed 2.2 pounds off of the beginning of this week. 12 in the Green

9th Week Goal Weight: 133.3
9th Week Actual Weight: 134.1
Calorie deficit totals: 4617 enough to lose a pound and I did

Day 61: Sun, 9/12: DNW, woke up at 3am and had water, coffee, etc. I expected to be able to go back to sleep before my 5pm shift, but couldn't. 908 in the Green
Day 62: Mon, 9/13: 137.8 - This weight is unacceptable, I hit it last November. I have got a frantic week and then am gone on 5 days vacation. I will be taking rice cakes and almond butter for sure on my trip. 350 in the Green
Day 63: Tues, 9/14: 134.7 - Okay. Scrambling to get a few things done before I leave at 3pm on Thursday. Tomatoes and Peppers are now covered in case of frost while I am gone. Doing extra shifts at work to allow for my upcoming time off. 927 in the Green
Day 64: Wed, 9/15: 133.9 - 2 more workdays before vacay : - ) 336 in the Green
Day 65: Thurs, 9/16: 134.4 1133 in the Green
Day 66: Fri, 9/17: 132.9 - Started this 100 off at 132.2. Worked and then traveled yesterday. Yes, I brought my scale. I did not eat nearly enough yesterday. Skating today for the first time this season : - ) 949 in the Green
Day 67: Sat, 9/18: 131.8 - Hard pressed to get enough calories in, I supplemented with Pringles, champagne, and brandy last night 1375 in the Green


10th Week Goal Weight: 131.1
10th Week Actual Weight: 131.8 - That scary spike up to 137.8 this week? Well, I just hope to never see that again!
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 definitely enough to lose a pound or more


Day 68: Sun, 9/19: 132.1 - I was awake way too early, I expect that my weight would be less had I not weighed at 4am. Having said that, I plan to indulge over the next few days. Today is a driving day, I will get a workout in before I hit the road. 391 in the Green
Day 69: Mon, 9/20: 132.8 - My 61st birthday, so down 7.3 pounds since my 60th. I'll take it : - ) Still up above my 100 day start weight, and planning on indulging some more today. Perhaps my high output days will save me a little. 27 in the Green
Day 70: Tues, 9/21: 134.0 - Hiked all day yesterday, hopefully that will catch up on the scale in the days to come. Driving home today. I will get a nice walk and workout in before that. I have an appointment in Cranbrook to get my silver roots dyed out - I usually do it, but am treating myself : - ) 340 in the Green
Day 71: Wed, 9/22: 134.8 - Up 2 pounds since my birthday! Home now and will be back to work. 512 in the Green
Day 72: Thurs, 9/23: 134.5 - My calorie burn output is so much less this week in comparison to my input. I am not going to have the 300 calories of hummus with my peppers as my work snack today. 815 in the Green
Day 73: Fri, 9/24: 134.1 - Skipping the hummus helped, and that in turn helped my activity output number. The fresh peppers from my garden were completely delicious even without the hummus. 26 days to get back to my start weight. 518 in the Green
Day 74: Sat, 9/25: 133.7 - Great active days and 1 bad day led to a gain. 405 in the Green

11th Week Goal Weight:
11th Week Actual Weight: 133.7 - Up 1.6 pounds over the week : - (
Calorie deficit totals: 3008 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 75: Sun, 9/26: 132.9 - Okay, getting closer to my start weight 75 days ago. 1165 in the Green
Day 76: Mon, 9/27: 134.4 - Don't know why. I was getting closer to my start weight. I will try to be patient and stay "good" even though I am working splits most of the week and dinners will be late. 751 in the Green
Day 77: Tues, 9/28: ?? 733 in the Green
Day 78: Wed, 9/29: 134.8 - Looks like my yesterday's post didn't "take". These late dinners are taking a toll, but it is my work schedule which doesn't look like it will change. I am working splits until we replace the girl that moved away. Calorie input is on point, calorie output is on point. Looks like time of day of eating does make a difference. Skating starts mid-October here, but I may be working during public skating. The ice on the lakes doesn't freeze until well into December. Kind of resigning myself into the mid 130s for now. 776 in the Green.
Day 79: Thurs, 9/30: 133.4 - I am doing better with my calorie deficit this week compared to last. I really don't lose weight unless I average at least a 500 deficit each day. 376 in the Green
Day 80: Fri, 10/1: 134.4 - Kind of expected, my deficit was lower yesterday because I consumed more calories. 40 in the Green
Day 81: Sat, 10/2: 133.9 - Day off, going to go for a hike, have a good workout, and spend most of the day in the yard getting some harvest before the temps dip below freezing in a week from now. 737 in the Green

12th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 (That would be a 1 pound loss in 81 days)
12th Week Actual Weight: 133.9
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 - More than enough to lose a pound

Day 82: Sun, 10/3: 135.4 - I don't get it, not happy with this number after an awesome active day with healthy choices. 769 in the Green
Day 83: Mon, 10/4: 135.4 - Does my body just want to be this weight? Pants are tight! Late dinners with my work schedule are probably not helping. 715 in the Green
Day 84: Tues, 10/5: 134.3 - Late dinners are not going to be going away any time soon, but glad to be down slightly. 476 in the Green
Day 85: Wed, 10/6: 133.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the later dinners? 213 in the Green
Day 86: Thurs, 10/7: 134.5 - Going out for Jamaican food with a friend tomorrow night, then Turkey, stuffing, gravy, libations etc. start Saturday and go for 3 days. Going to get some extra activity in today and keep my eating light. 669 in the Green
Day 87: Fri, 10/8: 134.7 - kind of expected a drop this morning, but nope.
Day 88: Sat, 10/9: 136.4 - Dinner out at a restaurant. This is exactly why I haven't gone out to eat in a restaurant in years - weight gain. Thanksgiving dinner for the next 3, and although it will be homemade, it will include all kinds of fattening stuff. 974 in the Green

13th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 88 days!
13th Week Actual Weight: 136.4
Calorie deficit totals: 4022 - enough to lose a pound

Day 89: Sun, 10/10: 137.4 - 1st day of Thanksgiving eating. I will try to cut the portions over the next 2. It took me 300 days to take off what I just put on, but whatever, really delicious foods.
Day 90: Mon, 10/11:
Day 91: Tues, 10/12:
Day 92: Wed, 10/13:
Day 93: Thurs, 10/14:
Day 94: Fri, 10/15:
Day 95: Sat, 10/16:

14th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 95 days!

Day 59 – 09/10 …..DNW……Ttrend weight DNW) They stopped my diabetic medications Wednesday night and I can’t begin taking them again until Sunday morning to protect the kidneys. Hopefully, knowing that, I will be able to do better on my eating. Today the well company comes back. Of course, it breaks down when they are NOT here, instead of when they are. This time, I hope they can figure out from the patterns what is going on. Praying it’s adjustments and not new pump or well. I am starving already (which happens after a day of eating with all caution to the wind). It won’t be easy, but I’ve got to be creative today and make it a good day.

Day 68 – 09/19 …..186.2……(Trend weight 187.5)
Day 69 – 09/20 …..185.2……(Trend weight 187.3) I really worked on Portion control again. I was pretty inspired by @Lilylady3k . The idea of pulling pants with zippers up without unzipping is the ultimate in inspiration! I’m still wearing the elastic waist, especially with shorts and capris for summer, but I have a closet full of pants that will fit nicely 10 pounds from now and they have zippers. I need them for the upcoming winter! Working on it. Thanks for the reminder!
Day 70 – 09/21 …..185.8……(Trend weight 187.1) Still trending down, even with an uptick on the scale. I kept diet perfect yesterday but my activity level was very low with a house full of workers and rain. More rain today but I will try to get a bit creative later tonight if I’m not too tired after everyone leaves.
Day 71 – 09/22 …..187.6…… My trend weight is tied to my fitbit. Because I had to restart/reset my fitbit my trend weight is totally skewed right now. I put in my original starting weight on fitbit so the stats would be correct and that throws the current off. It will be a few weeks before I can start accurately listing my trend weight again. Last night I ended up eating one cup of soup and 6 cookies with 8 oz of milk after I logged out of MFP. The amount of increase in weight is ridiculous but it is what it is I guess. I’m going for more movement today which will have to be outside, but it’s cold here in northern Michigan today. Travel tomorrow.

Day 72 – 09/23 …..187.6……Strange that I forgot to type my weight in yesterday during my post but it was the same as today. Meals were good, snacks were not. Activity level was way too low. Today I travel so the scale will not be good tomorrow (Friday). I will have to spend my 3rd weekend in a row beating it back down. No problem, I can do it when I 100% apply myself. Very cold and rainy today so it’s a perfect day for a long car ride. My son is going with me. It is always nice to get him out & about. With his Autism he would rather just stay in place with no changes most of the time. A nice meal is always a good bribe to get him out socializing. I will try to order carefully for myself but I’m not making any promises. It’s such a treat to be in a city with so many restaurants and choices! Gotta get my head on straight before I leave. Those restaurants aren’t going anywhere. Right now, I need to shed some more weight and get my blood glucose levels in a better place before surgery or they will cancel it. I was warned on my zoom pre-op meeting yesterday. I hope that will help keep me in a reasonable headspace today as I look at the menu in the booth.
Day 73 – 09/24.….188.8…… An expected uptick of 1.2 today after travel. Let’s hope there isn’t more lingering that will show up in the coming days. I hit Walmart while out of town yesterday and brought home NO JUNK. Not even for guests or grandchildren. Score! Today will be a good day.
Day 74 – 09/25 …..188.8……I had a lovely low calorie portioned dinner last night at 8:00 PM after everyone left. Then I had a lovely dinner at 1:00 AM about 2 hours before I went to bed. I started to feel my sugar drop and it wasn’t good. I didn’t go into a frenzy and I stayed away from sugar and “bad food”, but I did not need the other half that I’d prepped for tonight. Ridiculous!
Day 75 – 09/26 …..188.8……I am struggling with portion control though I am choosing my foods wisely. I just can’t seem to get enough food. Too many travel and disrupted days in a row has brought back my old habits of extreme hunger and cravings. I even had the sugar drop the other night. Feels like I’m back to square one, but I’m just gonna push through. Never give in and Never give up!
Day 76 – 09/27 …..187.6……Better.
Day 77 – 09/28 …..188.4…………Worse…….I went on a mini binge last night after closing out my diary. Not really cravings….Just extreme hunger. The amount was okay, the choices were not. I’ve really got to teach this old dog some new tricks.
Day 78 - 09/29 …..185.6……Finally a TMI to help the scale. Yesterday was crazy. So much frenzied work here by my workers as they try to beat bad weather. Much painting being done outside. I had no lunch (usually can’t anyway) but my dinner was at almost 1:00 AM which is late, even for a late-nighter like me. I kept it small and thoughtful. It payed off on the scale. I do need to carve in some time for my water and more movement somehow. Today I am already STARVING due to the low calorie yesterday. I have to try to keep my nose clean and plan carefully. I am thawing out some homemade chicken noodle soup that has carrots (they are smooth and taste like the broth) and celery (cooked to not crunch and NO STRINGS!). This will be my lunch. Pasta again in the noodles, but I will try to plan a dinner with some protein and a snack with some healthy fats (like walnuts). I’m almost 10 pounds below my starting weight this round. Hang on tight Donna! You can do this!
Day 79 – 09/30 …..186.2……I think this is a normal fluctuation after an almost 3 pound drop overnight yesterday. I did go over a bit with 3 pcs. Of sugar-free dark chocolate. Very little movement yesterday as I spent most of my day standing in front of doors staining and having my hand at some painting. I’ll be doing the same today. I’ve just been too tired at night to do much after the handymen leave (one of them at 9:00 pm every night). I’m down 0.6 on this challenge so at least it’s not a gain, but I should be able to do better and will try in October to improve upon that.




Actual Weight Loss in September………0.4 lbs………..
Total Accumulated Actual Weight Loss…..9.4 lbs lost


************************************************************


Day 80 – 10/01 …..187.0……Oops. Typed my weight wrong yesterday. It was 186.2. Corrected now. Up again today after a full-on binge. It was ridiculous. May be traveling tomorrow too so that won’t help. I’ve got to make today count!
Day 81 – 10/02 …..185.0……Got back on track yesterday with carefully planned meals and snacks. I burned 2900 calories overall for the day with over 16,000 steps working outside painting and staining again. The work itself was not a big calorie burner, it was going up & down my slope of a yard into the house and back that really gave me the burn, the flights of stairs documented on fitbit and the steps. Today will be opposite. Lots of car sitting/driving. Restaurant meal(s). I will try to choose carefully remembering that whatever damage I do, I will have to work hard to get rid of in the upcoming week. Maybe that will help my choices as I look over the menu. Because of my eating issues, sometimes it is hard to find the right things, but I will be thoughtful.
Day 82 – 10/03 …..187.0……There’s the expected uptick. Now, to work it back down!
Day 83 – 10/04 …..187.2…… Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
Day 84 – 10/05 …..186.8…… I ended up eating into the red on my mfp log after I logged it out. An extra 410 calories but it was healthy small meal and I was hungry. My overall fitbit calorie expenditure minus my food stayed in the green and so I saw a small loss which is better than nothing! I will aim to spread my meals out better today. I ate too early yesterday, thus the nighttime hunger.
Day 85 – 10/06 …..184.6….. Finally my TMI body functions worked properly yesterday so it was reflected on the scale today. It’s nice to know where I really am without false inflated numbers from no TMI or from water retention after a high sodium choice. Not too bad. Now it’s time to think about getting closer to 180.
Day 86 – 10/07 …..184.8……A normal overnight fluctuation. I had a good day and plan on another one today. I’m down 10.4 pounds since the start of this round. I lost 12.4 in the last round (#8). I’m not going to say those are stellar performances because I know I could have done better so so so many times on choices. I also know that my exercise and movement has been INCREDIBLY stifled. But I am glad for the progress that I feel is very good considering my eating issues and my renovation (trapped inside at home) situations. Most of the time it feels like not much progress. It’s nice being able to look back at 100 days at a time and see that I’m doing something right.
Day 87 – 10/08 …..185.6……There is absolutely no reason for such an uptick. I am thinking my body is recompensating for some recent larger drops. I stayed in the green yesterday and did not even log all the extra activity that I did. I am going to try to follow how certain food choices are affecting me (even though they keep me in the green and with good macros). Not an easy thing to do when TMI is not regular and with water retention at times. But I just want to see a pattern of something that may be helping or hurting. I plan another good day today except rain is expected all day. Very cold and damp.
Day 88 – 10/09 …..184.0……Okay. It finally shows up in a more accurate range than that Godforsaken bump up yesterday without cause! I’m dreaming of 182 point anything. I hit it back on Sept 1st for a minute and a half. I’m sure it was not accurate. However, I like the way it digitally shined up at me from the scale. Reaching for those stars as it’s about halfway to hitting the 170’s. I just checked my stats. My lowest weight since 2006 (15 years ago) was 174 .6 which I hit three years ago in Oct 2018. Inching my way to the 170’s and getting there will really boost my morale.
Day 89 – 10/10 …..185.6……My daughter moved back in last night with my 3 year old grandson. Figuring out meals for me will be tough. She has already brought us Chinese food which I think caused water retention this morning. I was only over by around 100 yesterday after eating a yogurt. So I’m thinking the sodium. Either that or cortisol. This is stressful while so many are in the house on these reno projects too. I can barely walk through between drywall buckets, pain buckets, boxes of ceramic tile and toys. I’ll try to stay positive.

dawnbgethealthy

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 61, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
UGW 110-115

This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
24.8 pound loss over 601 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 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually! 917 in the Green
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 132.7 - Late dinner last night again due to work schedule. 313 in the Green
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 132.1 - Tonight will be late dinner again. 389 in the Green

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 3866 - Average 552, so should have lost a pound and did.

Day 12 Sun 7/25: 132.4 - My work schedule is posted, I am working the day shifts until Friday, eating dinner earlier will be a benefit to my weight loss I believe. 970 in the Green
Day 13 Mon 7/26: 132.4 - I got a bunch of yard work done yesterday (drop in the bucket) even though it is smoky around here. 1070 in the Green
Day 14 Tues 7/27: 132.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, dance workout to warm up, HIIT with weights to follow, gardening/yard time before work and after work, plus the 300-400 that I usually burn at work running around. Back to start weight. 217 in the Green
Day 15 Wed 7/28: 132.1 55 in the Green
Day 16 Thurs 7/29: 134.8 - Ouch 595 in the Green
Day 17 Fri 7/30: 134.8 - Not happy about this of course, but taking it in stride. Hopefully my 500 deficit that I aim for will average out over the week, I haven't had time for workouts because of being wrapped up trying to fix my car issues. Spent the entire day yesterday buying a new one, but still have to deal with the dead one in the retail parking lot. On evening shifts for the next couple of weeks, so eating times are a challenge for me. 325 in the Green
Day 18 Sat 7/31: 133.8 - Down a pound since yesterday, carved out time to work out. My body will just have to get used to eating late after work. 866 in the Green

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.8 - Gain of 1.4 this week, don't want this to get away from me.
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 4098


Day 19: Sun, 8/1: 132.9 - My internal clock is off working evening shifts, glad to see a tiny drop. Last week was kind of disastrous on the scale. I had planned an indulgent day after tonight's shift, we'll see. 243 in the Green
Day 20: Mon, 8/2: 133.3 - We had a bit of drizzle last night, hoping that it will help with the fires 574 in the Green
Day 21: Tues, 8/3: 133.3 - 738 in the Green
Day 22: Wed, 8/4: 132.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the evening shifts and late dinner. 374 in the Green
Day 23: Thurs, 8/5: 132.8 - was planning some indulgence tonight after work, we'll see. 93 in the Green
Day 24: Fri, 8/6: 134.2 - Had wings last night, but also only 3 hours of sleep and water before weighing at 4am. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be better. Day off today, so will get lots of workouts and yard work done, not another day off until next Thursday. 371 in the Green
Day 25: Sat, 8/7: 134.3 - Wings again 468 in the Green

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 -
4th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 2861 - not enough to lose a pound

Day 26: Sun, 8/8: 136.0 - Double ouch. So hard to lose it, and so quick and easy to put it back on. 675 in the Green
Day 27: Mon, 8/9: 135.5 - It was so nice to eat dinner at a normal time. 1248 in the4 Green!!
Day 28: Tues, 8/10: 132.6 - Ended up with evening shifts after all, on top of day shifts. Burned a tonne yesterday after an unexpected shift. Didn't finish dinner until 11:30pm. 590
Day 29: Wed, 8/11: 131.7 - Very pleased with this, but will try not to get complacent after the huge jump in weight recently. Glad to see the drop a few days after the big calorie burn. Holding off on ribs for this month so far. 407 in the Green
Day 30: Thurs, 8/12: 132.9 - I basically only had snacks and Mojitos with a friend, no dinner. 541 in the Green
Day 31: Fri, 8/13: 134.0 - A couple of indulgent days. 146 in the Green
Day 32: Sat, 8/14: 134.7 - Self-imposed. 781 in the Green

5th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, seems a bit ambitious at this point, but going for it anyway
5th Week Actual Weight: 134.7 - Saw the 131s once this week.
Calorie Deficit totals: (Green on the Tracker) 4388 - enough to lose a pound.

Day 33: Sun, 8/15: 135.9 - Had a good calorie burn yesterday, so expect a good drop over the next couple of days. No reason for the gain today, so last week is still tolling. It always takes a few days in either direction. 581 in the Green
Day 34: Mon, 8/16: 134.4 - Working to get it down this week. 763 in the Green
Day 35: Tues, 8/17: 133.9 - Doing a split today, so dinner will be late. 1193 in the Green
Day 36: Wed, 8/18: 133.1 - Crazy amount of calories burned yesterday - A nice long workout in the morning and then a double shift waitressing where I burned almost 1000 calories running around - it was busy! Had a very late dinner. Normal dinners at normal times for the next 2 at least. 51 in the Green
Day 37: Thurs, 8/19: 134.3 - Not enough of a deficit yesterday. 567 in the Green
Day 38: Fri, 8/20: 134.9 - Disappointed for sure. I have a get together tonight, so am not expecting much of a loss for tomorrow morning. 232 in the Green
Day 39: Sat, 8/21: 134.3 - I know my exercise numbers, but my food numbers will be guestimates at best, lots of snacks with Mojitos - nuts, crackers, cheese etc. Like 1 ounce of cheese or 4? 10 crackers or 50? I am editing now, I went in and overestimated on the snacks. I had burned 1050 (including cutting the grass, work, a work out etc.) so did have a bit of a buffer. 201 in the RED

6th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th.
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie deficit totals: 3186 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 40: Sun, 8/22: 134.7 - I was in the red yesterday, which has only ever happened a couple of times. 453 in the Green
Day 41: Mon, 8/23: 135.6 - Had a great workout and a hike yesterday, even slept as late as possible because I have an evening shift today. Not sure where the spike came from, maybe left over from Friday or Saturday or both. 456 in the Green
Day 42: Tues, 8/24: 135.1 - Sticking with the plan. 499 in the Green
Day 43: Wed, 8/25: 136.4 - Last November's weight : - ( 710 in the Green
Day 44: Thurs, 8/26: 134.4 - Teeter tottering. 250 in the Green
Day 45: Fri, 8/27: 134.8 - CICO was - just okay yesterday. I really don't lose weight if I don't have a 500 in the Green. 774 in the Green
Day 46: Sat, 8/28: 136.5 - Ouch 486 in the Green

7th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th. Kind of unrealistic for this week, but aiming.
7th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Calorie deficit totals: 3628

Day 47: Sun, 8/29: 136.5 - Day off today, I will likely get in some extra activity. My last measurements were at 130.6, not going to be measuring right now lol. Pants are tight for sure. 580 in the green
Day 48: Mon, 8/30: 137.0 - I have really been climbing these past 2 months. Not feeling good about that.
Day 49: Tues, 8/31: 134.7 - Late dinner last night and will be again tonight because I am working a split. I should be happy to see this drop, but am not. I really started the weight climb in July. I will have to turn it around. 1146 in the Green
Day 50: Wed, 9/1: 134.0 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, more than I actually ate!. Double shift, workouts. August is gone and I did not even have Ribs because I am unwilling to stop fighting the battle of the bugle. Halfway mark today, and I am up almost 2 pounds from the start of the 100. Expecting a good drop tomorrow morning reflecting yesterday's huge calorie burn. 951 in the Green
Day 51: Thurs, 9/2: 133.9 - Kind of expected a bigger drop today after cutting the grass, yardwork, workouts, work, and low calories. I haven't had Ribs since July and was thinking that I might have some tonight if my weight was down more. I get a really good discount on Indian Food at the restaurant, but I have been avoiding that as well. Had a bit of a Eureka moment talking to a friend yesterday, I lose most of my weight for the year during skating season - I burn lots of calories and keep my food pretty good year round, is it the joy that skating gives me that changes the chemistry in my body? Or is it that I love skating so much that I do it for longer than other things. Not sure, but have decided to not beat myself up that the weight isn't coming off right now. 377 in the RED
Day 52: Fri, 9/3: 135.3 - Ribs last night. Memphis Dry Rub. Soooo yummy. I may pay for that on the scale for awhile, but it was kind of worth it. 693 in the Green
Day 53: Sat, 9/4: 135.8 - expected to see a Ribs uptick for a couple of days, I'm okay with it. 724 in the Green

8th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Plugging it in again, someday I will hit it, I hit 130.6 last 100
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Calorie deficit totals: 4305 - enough to lose a pound and I came close to that, 0.7 off of day 47

Day 54: Sun, 9/5: 136.3 - Still the aftermath of the Ribs? I was "good" yesterday. 352 in the Green
Day 55: Mon, 9/6: 135.5 - Better. Still paying for Thursday's Ribs, but I am okay with that. 790 in the Green
Day 56: Tues, 9/7: 135.2 No woosh, but steadily coming down. 787 in the Green
Day 57: Wed, 9/8: 135.1 - On split shifts yesterday and today, so late dinners. Glad to still see a small drop. 7 days to get the Ribs off? 1226 in the Green
Day 58: Thurs, 9/9: 134.1 - That is a nice drop. Yesterday's numbers are not sustainable (burned more than I ate!), but glad that they made a difference. 1060 in the Green
Day 59: Fri, 9/10: 133.7 - Planned indulgences tonight after work. 390 in the Green
Day 60: Sat, 9/11: 134.1 - I had some food from Spice Hut, the Indian restaurant where I work. Mutter Paneer. It was really good, I ate half. This is only the second time that I have had food from there since April. With all of the activity that I had, I have skimmed 2.2 pounds off of the beginning of this week. 12 in the Green

9th Week Goal Weight: 133.3
9th Week Actual Weight: 134.1
Calorie deficit totals: 4617 enough to lose a pound and I did

Day 61: Sun, 9/12: DNW, woke up at 3am and had water, coffee, etc. I expected to be able to go back to sleep before my 5pm shift, but couldn't. 908 in the Green
Day 62: Mon, 9/13: 137.8 - This weight is unacceptable, I hit it last November. I have got a frantic week and then am gone on 5 days vacation. I will be taking rice cakes and almond butter for sure on my trip. 350 in the Green
Day 63: Tues, 9/14: 134.7 - Okay. Scrambling to get a few things done before I leave at 3pm on Thursday. Tomatoes and Peppers are now covered in case of frost while I am gone. Doing extra shifts at work to allow for my upcoming time off. 927 in the Green
Day 64: Wed, 9/15: 133.9 - 2 more workdays before vacay : - ) 336 in the Green
Day 65: Thurs, 9/16: 134.4 1133 in the Green
Day 66: Fri, 9/17: 132.9 - Started this 100 off at 132.2. Worked and then traveled yesterday. Yes, I brought my scale. I did not eat nearly enough yesterday. Skating today for the first time this season : - ) 949 in the Green
Day 67: Sat, 9/18: 131.8 - Hard pressed to get enough calories in, I supplemented with Pringles, champagne, and brandy last night 1375 in the Green


10th Week Goal Weight: 131.1
10th Week Actual Weight: 131.8 - That scary spike up to 137.8 this week? Well, I just hope to never see that again!
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 definitely enough to lose a pound or more


Day 68: Sun, 9/19: 132.1 - I was awake way too early, I expect that my weight would be less had I not weighed at 4am. Having said that, I plan to indulge over the next few days. Today is a driving day, I will get a workout in before I hit the road. 391 in the Green
Day 69: Mon, 9/20: 132.8 - My 61st birthday, so down 7.3 pounds since my 60th. I'll take it : - ) Still up above my 100 day start weight, and planning on indulging some more today. Perhaps my high output days will save me a little. 27 in the Green
Day 70: Tues, 9/21: 134.0 - Hiked all day yesterday, hopefully that will catch up on the scale in the days to come. Driving home today. I will get a nice walk and workout in before that. I have an appointment in Cranbrook to get my silver roots dyed out - I usually do it, but am treating myself : - ) 340 in the Green
Day 71: Wed, 9/22: 134.8 - Up 2 pounds since my birthday! Home now and will be back to work. 512 in the Green
Day 72: Thurs, 9/23: 134.5 - My calorie burn output is so much less this week in comparison to my input. I am not going to have the 300 calories of hummus with my peppers as my work snack today. 815 in the Green
Day 73: Fri, 9/24: 134.1 - Skipping the hummus helped, and that in turn helped my activity output number. The fresh peppers from my garden were completely delicious even without the hummus. 26 days to get back to my start weight. 518 in the Green
Day 74: Sat, 9/25: 133.7 - Great active days and 1 bad day led to a gain. 405 in the Green

11th Week Goal Weight:
11th Week Actual Weight: 133.7 - Up 1.6 pounds over the week : - (
Calorie deficit totals: 3008 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 75: Sun, 9/26: 132.9 - Okay, getting closer to my start weight 75 days ago. 1165 in the Green
Day 76: Mon, 9/27: 134.4 - Don't know why. I was getting closer to my start weight. I will try to be patient and stay "good" even though I am working splits most of the week and dinners will be late. 751 in the Green
Day 77: Tues, 9/28: ?? 733 in the Green
Day 78: Wed, 9/29: 134.8 - Looks like my yesterday's post didn't "take". These late dinners are taking a toll, but it is my work schedule which doesn't look like it will change. I am working splits until we replace the girl that moved away. Calorie input is on point, calorie output is on point. Looks like time of day of eating does make a difference. Skating starts mid-October here, but I may be working during public skating. The ice on the lakes doesn't freeze until well into December. Kind of resigning myself into the mid 130s for now. 776 in the Green.
Day 79: Thurs, 9/30: 133.4 - I am doing better with my calorie deficit this week compared to last. I really don't lose weight unless I average at least a 500 deficit each day. 376 in the Green
Day 80: Fri, 10/1: 134.4 - Kind of expected, my deficit was lower yesterday because I consumed more calories. 40 in the Green
Day 81: Sat, 10/2: 133.9 - Day off, going to go for a hike, have a good workout, and spend most of the day in the yard getting some harvest before the temps dip below freezing in a week from now. 737 in the Green

12th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 (That would be a 1 pound loss in 81 days)
12th Week Actual Weight: 133.9
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 - More than enough to lose a pound
Day 82: Sun, 10/3: 135.4 - I don't get it, not happy with this number after an awesome active day with healthy choices. 769 in the Green
Day 83: Mon, 10/4: 135.4 - Does my body just want to be this weight? Pants are tight! Late dinners with my work schedule are probably not helping. 715 in the Green
Day 84: Tues, 10/5: 134.3 - Late dinners are not going to be going away any time soon, but glad to be down slightly. 476 in the Green
Day 85: Wed, 10/6: 133.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the later dinners? 213 in the Green
Day 86: Thurs, 10/7: 134.5 - Going out for Jamaican food with a friend tomorrow night, then Turkey, stuffing, gravy, libations etc. start Saturday and go for 3 days. Going to get some extra activity in today and keep my eating light. 669 in the Green
Day 87: Fri, 10/8: 134.7 - kind of expected a drop this morning, but nope.
Day 88: Sat, 10/9: 136.4 - Dinner out at a restaurant. This is exactly why I haven't gone out to eat in a restaurant in years - weight gain. Thanksgiving dinner for the next 3, and although it will be homemade, it will include all kinds of fattening stuff. 974 in the Green

13th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 88 days!
13th Week Actual Weight: 136.4
Calorie deficit totals: 4022 - enough to lose a pound

Day 89: Sun, 10/10: 137.4 - 1st day of Thanksgiving eating. I will try to cut the portions over the next 2. It took me 300 days to take off what I just put on, but whatever, really delicious foods. 509 in the Green
Day 90: Mon, 10/11: 137.0 - Lots more Turkey with all the trimmings to eat still. I will try to gets lots of activity in.
Day 91: Tues, 10/12:
Day 92: Wed, 10/13:
Day 93: Thurs, 10/14:
Day 94: Fri, 10/15:
Day 95: Sat, 10/16:

14th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 95 days!

Good for you for trying to remain positive. It is great that your daughter has you to go to.
Chaos of remodeling was tough enough on its own.

Ceramic tiles? Do tell! How exciting. What colour, and where will they be placed?

Day 59 – 09/10 …..DNW……Ttrend weight DNW) They stopped my diabetic medications Wednesday night and I can’t begin taking them again until Sunday morning to protect the kidneys. Hopefully, knowing that, I will be able to do better on my eating. Today the well company comes back. Of course, it breaks down when they are NOT here, instead of when they are. This time, I hope they can figure out from the patterns what is going on. Praying it’s adjustments and not new pump or well. I am starving already (which happens after a day of eating with all caution to the wind). It won’t be easy, but I’ve got to be creative today and make it a good day.

Day 67 – 09/18 …..187.6……(Trend weight 187.6)
Day 68 – 09/19 …..186.2……(Trend weight 187.5)
Day 69 – 09/20 …..185.2……(Trend weight 187.3) I really worked on Portion control again. I was pretty inspired by @Lilylady3k . The idea of pulling pants with zippers up without unzipping is the ultimate in inspiration! I’m still wearing the elastic waist, especially with shorts and capris for summer, but I have a closet full of pants that will fit nicely 10 pounds from now and they have zippers. I need them for the upcoming winter! Working on it. Thanks for the reminder!
Day 70 – 09/21 …..185.8……(Trend weight 187.1) Still trending down, even with an uptick on the scale. I kept diet perfect yesterday but my activity level was very low with a house full of workers and rain. More rain today but I will try to get a bit creative later tonight if I’m not too tired after everyone leaves.
Day 71 – 09/22 …..187.6…… My trend weight is tied to my fitbit. Because I had to restart/reset my fitbit my trend weight is totally skewed right now. I put in my original starting weight on fitbit so the stats would be correct and that throws the current off. It will be a few weeks before I can start accurately listing my trend weight again. Last night I ended up eating one cup of soup and 6 cookies with 8 oz of milk after I logged out of MFP. The amount of increase in weight is ridiculous but it is what it is I guess. I’m going for more movement today which will have to be outside, but it’s cold here in northern Michigan today. Travel tomorrow.

Day 72 – 09/23 …..187.6……Strange that I forgot to type my weight in yesterday during my post but it was the same as today. Meals were good, snacks were not. Activity level was way too low. Today I travel so the scale will not be good tomorrow (Friday). I will have to spend my 3rd weekend in a row beating it back down. No problem, I can do it when I 100% apply myself. Very cold and rainy today so it’s a perfect day for a long car ride. My son is going with me. It is always nice to get him out & about. With his Autism he would rather just stay in place with no changes most of the time. A nice meal is always a good bribe to get him out socializing. I will try to order carefully for myself but I’m not making any promises. It’s such a treat to be in a city with so many restaurants and choices! Gotta get my head on straight before I leave. Those restaurants aren’t going anywhere. Right now, I need to shed some more weight and get my blood glucose levels in a better place before surgery or they will cancel it. I was warned on my zoom pre-op meeting yesterday. I hope that will help keep me in a reasonable headspace today as I look at the menu in the booth.
Day 73 – 09/24.….188.8…… An expected uptick of 1.2 today after travel. Let’s hope there isn’t more lingering that will show up in the coming days. I hit Walmart while out of town yesterday and brought home NO JUNK. Not even for guests or grandchildren. Score! Today will be a good day.
Day 74 – 09/25 …..188.8……I had a lovely low calorie portioned dinner last night at 8:00 PM after everyone left. Then I had a lovely dinner at 1:00 AM about 2 hours before I went to bed. I started to feel my sugar drop and it wasn’t good. I didn’t go into a frenzy and I stayed away from sugar and “bad food”, but I did not need the other half that I’d prepped for tonight. Ridiculous!
Day 75 – 09/26 …..188.8……I am struggling with portion control though I am choosing my foods wisely. I just can’t seem to get enough food. Too many travel and disrupted days in a row has brought back my old habits of extreme hunger and cravings. I even had the sugar drop the other night. Feels like I’m back to square one, but I’m just gonna push through. Never give in and Never give up!
Day 76 – 09/27 …..187.6……Better.
Day 77 – 09/28 …..188.4…………Worse…….I went on a mini binge last night after closing out my diary. Not really cravings….Just extreme hunger. The amount was okay, the choices were not. I’ve really got to teach this old dog some new tricks.
Day 78 - 09/29 …..185.6……Finally a TMI to help the scale. Yesterday was crazy. So much frenzied work here by my workers as they try to beat bad weather. Much painting being done outside. I had no lunch (usually can’t anyway) but my dinner was at almost 1:00 AM which is late, even for a late-nighter like me. I kept it small and thoughtful. It payed off on the scale. I do need to carve in some time for my water and more movement somehow. Today I am already STARVING due to the low calorie yesterday. I have to try to keep my nose clean and plan carefully. I am thawing out some homemade chicken noodle soup that has carrots (they are smooth and taste like the broth) and celery (cooked to not crunch and NO STRINGS!). This will be my lunch. Pasta again in the noodles, but I will try to plan a dinner with some protein and a snack with some healthy fats (like walnuts). I’m almost 10 pounds below my starting weight this round. Hang on tight Donna! You can do this!
Day 79 – 09/30 …..186.2……I think this is a normal fluctuation after an almost 3 pound drop overnight yesterday. I did go over a bit with 3 pcs. Of sugar-free dark chocolate. Very little movement yesterday as I spent most of my day standing in front of doors staining and having my hand at some painting. I’ll be doing the same today. I’ve just been too tired at night to do much after the handymen leave (one of them at 9:00 pm every night). I’m down 0.6 on this challenge so at least it’s not a gain, but I should be able to do better and will try in October to improve upon that.




Actual Weight Loss in September………0.4 lbs………..
Total Accumulated Actual Weight Loss…..9.4 lbs lost


************************************************************


Day 80 – 10/01 …..187.0……Oops. Typed my weight wrong yesterday. It was 186.2. Corrected now. Up again today after a full-on binge. It was ridiculous. May be traveling tomorrow too so that won’t help. I’ve got to make today count!
Day 81 – 10/02 …..185.0……Got back on track yesterday with carefully planned meals and snacks. I burned 2900 calories overall for the day with over 16,000 steps working outside painting and staining again. The work itself was not a big calorie burner, it was going up & down my slope of a yard into the house and back that really gave me the burn, the flights of stairs documented on fitbit and the steps. Today will be opposite. Lots of car sitting/driving. Restaurant meal(s). I will try to choose carefully remembering that whatever damage I do, I will have to work hard to get rid of in the upcoming week. Maybe that will help my choices as I look over the menu. Because of my eating issues, sometimes it is hard to find the right things, but I will be thoughtful.
Day 82 – 10/03 …..187.0……There’s the expected uptick. Now, to work it back down!
Day 83 – 10/04 …..187.2…… Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
Day 84 – 10/05 …..186.8…… I ended up eating into the red on my mfp log after I logged it out. An extra 410 calories but it was healthy small meal and I was hungry. My overall fitbit calorie expenditure minus my food stayed in the green and so I saw a small loss which is better than nothing! I will aim to spread my meals out better today. I ate too early yesterday, thus the nighttime hunger.
Day 85 – 10/06 …..184.6….. Finally my TMI body functions worked properly yesterday so it was reflected on the scale today. It’s nice to know where I really am without false inflated numbers from no TMI or from water retention after a high sodium choice. Not too bad. Now it’s time to think about getting closer to 180.
Day 86 – 10/07 …..184.8……A normal overnight fluctuation. I had a good day and plan on another one today. I’m down 10.4 pounds since the start of this round. I lost 12.4 in the last round (#8). I’m not going to say those are stellar performances because I know I could have done better so so so many times on choices. I also know that my exercise and movement has been INCREDIBLY stifled. But I am glad for the progress that I feel is very good considering my eating issues and my renovation (trapped inside at home) situations. Most of the time it feels like not much progress. It’s nice being able to look back at 100 days at a time and see that I’m doing something right.
Day 87 – 10/08 …..185.6……There is absolutely no reason for such an uptick. I am thinking my body is recompensating for some recent larger drops. I stayed in the green yesterday and did not even log all the extra activity that I did. I am going to try to follow how certain food choices are affecting me (even though they keep me in the green and with good macros). Not an easy thing to do when TMI is not regular and with water retention at times. But I just want to see a pattern of something that may be helping or hurting. I plan another good day today except rain is expected all day. Very cold and damp.
Day 88 – 10/09 …..184.0……Okay. It finally shows up in a more accurate range than that Godforsaken bump up yesterday without cause! I’m dreaming of 182 point anything. I hit it back on Sept 1st for a minute and a half. I’m sure it was not accurate. However, I like the way it digitally shined up at me from the scale. Reaching for those stars as it’s about halfway to hitting the 170’s. I just checked my stats. My lowest weight since 2006 (15 years ago) was 174 .6 which I hit three years ago in Oct 2018. Inching my way to the 170’s and getting there will really boost my morale.
Day 89 – 10/10 …..185.6……My daughter moved back in last night with my 3 year old grandson. Figuring out meals for me will be tough. She has already brought us Chinese food which I think caused water retention this morning. I was only over by around 100 yesterday after eating a yogurt. So I’m thinking the sodium. Either that or cortisol. This is stressful while so many are in the house on these reno projects too. I can barely walk through between drywall buckets, pain buckets, boxes of ceramic tile and toys. I’ll try to stay positive.
Day 90 – 10/11 …..185.6……(Trend weight 188.1)My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween candy for a party she had been planning. She has now had to cancel it due to her circumstances. I’m talking Reeses pumpkins, kit-kats, Hershey kisses galore, the whole 9 yards. Today I am going to carry the whole huge basket and bags upstairs to get it out of my face. My hips don’t need it and neither does my diabetes. I ate many pieces yesterday. I suspect it will show up on the scale sooner or later since I am babysitting now and can’t get out at all. I’ll need to make a plan. I adore my DGS but he is demanding and takes up every moment of my time. Lots to figure out here.

Hopefully, knowing that, I will be able to do better on my eating. Today the well company comes back. Of course, it breaks down when they are NOT here, instead of when they are. This time, I hope they can figure out from the patterns what is going on. Praying it’s adjustments and not new pump or well. I am starving already (which happens after a day of eating with all caution to the wind). It won’t be easy, but I’ve got to be creative today and make it a good day.

************************************************************


Day 80 – 10/01 …..187.0……Oops. Typed my weight wrong yesterday. It was 186.2. Corrected now. Up again today after a full-on binge. It was ridiculous. May be traveling tomorrow too so that won’t help. I’ve got to make today count!

Day 81 – 10/02 …..185.0……Got back on track yesterday with carefully planned meals and snacks. I burned 2900 calories overall for the day with over 16,000 steps working outside painting and staining again. The work itself was not a big calorie burner, it was going up & down my slope of a yard into the house and back that really gave me the burn, the flights of stairs documented on fitbit and the steps. Today will be opposite. Lots of car sitting/driving. Restaurant meal(s). I will try to choose carefully remembering that whatever damage I do, I will have to work hard to get rid of in the upcoming week. Maybe that will help my choices as I look over the menu. Because of my eating issues, sometimes it is hard to find the right things, but I will be thoughtful.

Day 82 – 10/03 …..187.0……There’s the expected uptick. Now, to work it back down!

Day 83 – 10/04 …..187.2…… Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.

Day 84 – 10/05 …..186.8…… I ended up eating into the red on my mfp log after I logged it out. An extra 410 calories but it was healthy small meal and I was hungry. My overall fitbit calorie expenditure minus my food stayed in the green and so I saw a small loss which is better than nothing! I will aim to spread my meals out better today. I ate too early yesterday, thus the nighttime hunger.

Day 85 – 10/06 …..184.6….. Finally my TMI body functions worked properly yesterday so it was reflected on the scale today. It’s nice to know where I really am without false inflated numbers from no TMI or from water retention after a high sodium choice. Not too bad. Now it’s time to think about getting closer to 180.

Day 86 – 10/07 …..184.8……A normal overnight fluctuation. I had a good day and plan on another one today. I’m down 10.4 pounds since the start of this round. I lost 12.4 in the last round (#8). I’m not going to say those are stellar performances because I know I could have done better so so so many times on choices. I also know that my exercise and movement has been INCREDIBLY stifled. But I am glad for the progress that I feel is very good considering my eating issues and my renovation (trapped inside at home) situations. Most of the time it feels like not much progress. It’s nice being able to look back at 100 days at a time and see that I’m doing something right.

Day 87 – 10/08 …..185.6……There is absolutely no reason for such an uptick. I am thinking my body is recompensating for some recent larger drops. I stayed in the green yesterday and did not even log all the extra activity that I did. I am going to try to follow how certain food choices are affecting me (even though they keep me in the green and with good macros). Not an easy thing to do when TMI is not regular and with water retention at times. But I just want to see a pattern of something that may be helping or hurting. I plan another good day today except rain is expected all day. Very cold and damp.

Day 88 – 10/09 …..184.0……Okay. It finally shows up in a more accurate range than that Godforsaken bump up yesterday without cause! I’m dreaming of 182 point anything. I hit it back on Sept 1st for a minute and a half. I’m sure it was not accurate. However, I like the way it digitally shined up at me from the scale. Reaching for those stars as it’s about halfway to hitting the 170’s. I just checked my stats. My lowest weight since 2006 (15 years ago) was 174 .6 which I hit three years ago in Oct 2018. Inching my way to the 170’s and getting there will really boost my morale.

Day 89 – 10/10 …..185.6……My daughter moved back in last night with my 3 year old grandson. Figuring out meals for me will be tough. She has already brought us Chinese food which I think caused water retention this morning. I was only over by around 100 yesterday after eating a yogurt. So I’m thinking the sodium. Either that or cortisol. This is stressful while so many are in the house on these reno projects too. I can barely walk through between drywall buckets, pain buckets, boxes of ceramic tile and toys. I’ll try to stay positive.

Day 90 – 10/11 …..185.6……(Trend weight 188.1)My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween candy for a party she had been planning. She has now had to cancel it due to her circumstances. I’m talking Reeses pumpkins, kit-kats, Hershey kisses galore, the whole 9 yards. Today I am going to carry the whole huge basket and bags upstairs to get it out of my face. My hips don’t need it and neither does my diabetes. I ate many pieces yesterday. I suspect it will show up on the scale sooner or later since I am babysitting now and can’t get out at all. I’ll need to make a plan. I adore my DGS but he is demanding and takes up every moment of my time. Lots to figure out here.

Day 91 – 10/12 …..185.6……(Trend weight 187.9) My daughter will be making goodie bags for the kids originally invited to her Halloween party she’s cancelled. She will hand deliver them. Anything leftover she will take to work. It was a nice and fruitful talk. Travel today. Dinner will be out so I expect an uptick tomorrow. I wish there had been a small change on the scale today because yesterday was an excellent day for me. However, all good things come to those who wait, so Do You Hear Me Universe? I’m Waiting…….

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 61, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
UGW 110-115

This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
24.8 pound loss over 601 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 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually! 917 in the Green
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 132.7 - Late dinner last night again due to work schedule. 313 in the Green
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 132.1 - Tonight will be late dinner again. 389 in the Green

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 3866 - Average 552, so should have lost a pound and did.

Day 12 Sun 7/25: 132.4 - My work schedule is posted, I am working the day shifts until Friday, eating dinner earlier will be a benefit to my weight loss I believe. 970 in the Green
Day 13 Mon 7/26: 132.4 - I got a bunch of yard work done yesterday (drop in the bucket) even though it is smoky around here. 1070 in the Green
Day 14 Tues 7/27: 132.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, dance workout to warm up, HIIT with weights to follow, gardening/yard time before work and after work, plus the 300-400 that I usually burn at work running around. Back to start weight. 217 in the Green
Day 15 Wed 7/28: 132.1 55 in the Green
Day 16 Thurs 7/29: 134.8 - Ouch 595 in the Green
Day 17 Fri 7/30: 134.8 - Not happy about this of course, but taking it in stride. Hopefully my 500 deficit that I aim for will average out over the week, I haven't had time for workouts because of being wrapped up trying to fix my car issues. Spent the entire day yesterday buying a new one, but still have to deal with the dead one in the retail parking lot. On evening shifts for the next couple of weeks, so eating times are a challenge for me. 325 in the Green
Day 18 Sat 7/31: 133.8 - Down a pound since yesterday, carved out time to work out. My body will just have to get used to eating late after work. 866 in the Green

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.8 - Gain of 1.4 this week, don't want this to get away from me.
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 4098


Day 19: Sun, 8/1: 132.9 - My internal clock is off working evening shifts, glad to see a tiny drop. Last week was kind of disastrous on the scale. I had planned an indulgent day after tonight's shift, we'll see. 243 in the Green
Day 20: Mon, 8/2: 133.3 - We had a bit of drizzle last night, hoping that it will help with the fires 574 in the Green
Day 21: Tues, 8/3: 133.3 - 738 in the Green
Day 22: Wed, 8/4: 132.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the evening shifts and late dinner. 374 in the Green
Day 23: Thurs, 8/5: 132.8 - was planning some indulgence tonight after work, we'll see. 93 in the Green
Day 24: Fri, 8/6: 134.2 - Had wings last night, but also only 3 hours of sleep and water before weighing at 4am. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be better. Day off today, so will get lots of workouts and yard work done, not another day off until next Thursday. 371 in the Green
Day 25: Sat, 8/7: 134.3 - Wings again 468 in the Green

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 -
4th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 2861 - not enough to lose a pound

Day 26: Sun, 8/8: 136.0 - Double ouch. So hard to lose it, and so quick and easy to put it back on. 675 in the Green
Day 27: Mon, 8/9: 135.5 - It was so nice to eat dinner at a normal time. 1248 in the4 Green!!
Day 28: Tues, 8/10: 132.6 - Ended up with evening shifts after all, on top of day shifts. Burned a tonne yesterday after an unexpected shift. Didn't finish dinner until 11:30pm. 590
Day 29: Wed, 8/11: 131.7 - Very pleased with this, but will try not to get complacent after the huge jump in weight recently. Glad to see the drop a few days after the big calorie burn. Holding off on ribs for this month so far. 407 in the Green
Day 30: Thurs, 8/12: 132.9 - I basically only had snacks and Mojitos with a friend, no dinner. 541 in the Green
Day 31: Fri, 8/13: 134.0 - A couple of indulgent days. 146 in the Green
Day 32: Sat, 8/14: 134.7 - Self-imposed. 781 in the Green

5th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, seems a bit ambitious at this point, but going for it anyway
5th Week Actual Weight: 134.7 - Saw the 131s once this week.
Calorie Deficit totals: (Green on the Tracker) 4388 - enough to lose a pound.

Day 33: Sun, 8/15: 135.9 - Had a good calorie burn yesterday, so expect a good drop over the next couple of days. No reason for the gain today, so last week is still tolling. It always takes a few days in either direction. 581 in the Green
Day 34: Mon, 8/16: 134.4 - Working to get it down this week. 763 in the Green
Day 35: Tues, 8/17: 133.9 - Doing a split today, so dinner will be late. 1193 in the Green
Day 36: Wed, 8/18: 133.1 - Crazy amount of calories burned yesterday - A nice long workout in the morning and then a double shift waitressing where I burned almost 1000 calories running around - it was busy! Had a very late dinner. Normal dinners at normal times for the next 2 at least. 51 in the Green
Day 37: Thurs, 8/19: 134.3 - Not enough of a deficit yesterday. 567 in the Green
Day 38: Fri, 8/20: 134.9 - Disappointed for sure. I have a get together tonight, so am not expecting much of a loss for tomorrow morning. 232 in the Green
Day 39: Sat, 8/21: 134.3 - I know my exercise numbers, but my food numbers will be guestimates at best, lots of snacks with Mojitos - nuts, crackers, cheese etc. Like 1 ounce of cheese or 4? 10 crackers or 50? I am editing now, I went in and overestimated on the snacks. I had burned 1050 (including cutting the grass, work, a work out etc.) so did have a bit of a buffer. 201 in the RED

6th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th.
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie deficit totals: 3186 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 40: Sun, 8/22: 134.7 - I was in the red yesterday, which has only ever happened a couple of times. 453 in the Green
Day 41: Mon, 8/23: 135.6 - Had a great workout and a hike yesterday, even slept as late as possible because I have an evening shift today. Not sure where the spike came from, maybe left over from Friday or Saturday or both. 456 in the Green
Day 42: Tues, 8/24: 135.1 - Sticking with the plan. 499 in the Green
Day 43: Wed, 8/25: 136.4 - Last November's weight : - ( 710 in the Green
Day 44: Thurs, 8/26: 134.4 - Teeter tottering. 250 in the Green
Day 45: Fri, 8/27: 134.8 - CICO was - just okay yesterday. I really don't lose weight if I don't have a 500 in the Green. 774 in the Green
Day 46: Sat, 8/28: 136.5 - Ouch 486 in the Green

7th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th. Kind of unrealistic for this week, but aiming.
7th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Calorie deficit totals: 3628

Day 47: Sun, 8/29: 136.5 - Day off today, I will likely get in some extra activity. My last measurements were at 130.6, not going to be measuring right now lol. Pants are tight for sure. 580 in the green
Day 48: Mon, 8/30: 137.0 - I have really been climbing these past 2 months. Not feeling good about that.
Day 49: Tues, 8/31: 134.7 - Late dinner last night and will be again tonight because I am working a split. I should be happy to see this drop, but am not. I really started the weight climb in July. I will have to turn it around. 1146 in the Green
Day 50: Wed, 9/1: 134.0 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, more than I actually ate!. Double shift, workouts. August is gone and I did not even have Ribs because I am unwilling to stop fighting the battle of the bugle. Halfway mark today, and I am up almost 2 pounds from the start of the 100. Expecting a good drop tomorrow morning reflecting yesterday's huge calorie burn. 951 in the Green
Day 51: Thurs, 9/2: 133.9 - Kind of expected a bigger drop today after cutting the grass, yardwork, workouts, work, and low calories. I haven't had Ribs since July and was thinking that I might have some tonight if my weight was down more. I get a really good discount on Indian Food at the restaurant, but I have been avoiding that as well. Had a bit of a Eureka moment talking to a friend yesterday, I lose most of my weight for the year during skating season - I burn lots of calories and keep my food pretty good year round, is it the joy that skating gives me that changes the chemistry in my body? Or is it that I love skating so much that I do it for longer than other things. Not sure, but have decided to not beat myself up that the weight isn't coming off right now. 377 in the RED
Day 52: Fri, 9/3: 135.3 - Ribs last night. Memphis Dry Rub. Soooo yummy. I may pay for that on the scale for awhile, but it was kind of worth it. 693 in the Green
Day 53: Sat, 9/4: 135.8 - expected to see a Ribs uptick for a couple of days, I'm okay with it. 724 in the Green

8th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Plugging it in again, someday I will hit it, I hit 130.6 last 100
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Calorie deficit totals: 4305 - enough to lose a pound and I came close to that, 0.7 off of day 47

Day 54: Sun, 9/5: 136.3 - Still the aftermath of the Ribs? I was "good" yesterday. 352 in the Green
Day 55: Mon, 9/6: 135.5 - Better. Still paying for Thursday's Ribs, but I am okay with that. 790 in the Green
Day 56: Tues, 9/7: 135.2 No woosh, but steadily coming down. 787 in the Green
Day 57: Wed, 9/8: 135.1 - On split shifts yesterday and today, so late dinners. Glad to still see a small drop. 7 days to get the Ribs off? 1226 in the Green
Day 58: Thurs, 9/9: 134.1 - That is a nice drop. Yesterday's numbers are not sustainable (burned more than I ate!), but glad that they made a difference. 1060 in the Green
Day 59: Fri, 9/10: 133.7 - Planned indulgences tonight after work. 390 in the Green
Day 60: Sat, 9/11: 134.1 - I had some food from Spice Hut, the Indian restaurant where I work. Mutter Paneer. It was really good, I ate half. This is only the second time that I have had food from there since April. With all of the activity that I had, I have skimmed 2.2 pounds off of the beginning of this week. 12 in the Green

9th Week Goal Weight: 133.3
9th Week Actual Weight: 134.1
Calorie deficit totals: 4617 enough to lose a pound and I did

Day 61: Sun, 9/12: DNW, woke up at 3am and had water, coffee, etc. I expected to be able to go back to sleep before my 5pm shift, but couldn't. 908 in the Green
Day 62: Mon, 9/13: 137.8 - This weight is unacceptable, I hit it last November. I have got a frantic week and then am gone on 5 days vacation. I will be taking rice cakes and almond butter for sure on my trip. 350 in the Green
Day 63: Tues, 9/14: 134.7 - Okay. Scrambling to get a few things done before I leave at 3pm on Thursday. Tomatoes and Peppers are now covered in case of frost while I am gone. Doing extra shifts at work to allow for my upcoming time off. 927 in the Green
Day 64: Wed, 9/15: 133.9 - 2 more workdays before vacay : - ) 336 in the Green
Day 65: Thurs, 9/16: 134.4 1133 in the Green
Day 66: Fri, 9/17: 132.9 - Started this 100 off at 132.2. Worked and then traveled yesterday. Yes, I brought my scale. I did not eat nearly enough yesterday. Skating today for the first time this season : - ) 949 in the Green
Day 67: Sat, 9/18: 131.8 - Hard pressed to get enough calories in, I supplemented with Pringles, champagne, and brandy last night 1375 in the Green


10th Week Goal Weight: 131.1
10th Week Actual Weight: 131.8 - That scary spike up to 137.8 this week? Well, I just hope to never see that again!
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 definitely enough to lose a pound or more


Day 68: Sun, 9/19: 132.1 - I was awake way too early, I expect that my weight would be less had I not weighed at 4am. Having said that, I plan to indulge over the next few days. Today is a driving day, I will get a workout in before I hit the road. 391 in the Green
Day 69: Mon, 9/20: 132.8 - My 61st birthday, so down 7.3 pounds since my 60th. I'll take it : - ) Still up above my 100 day start weight, and planning on indulging some more today. Perhaps my high output days will save me a little. 27 in the Green
Day 70: Tues, 9/21: 134.0 - Hiked all day yesterday, hopefully that will catch up on the scale in the days to come. Driving home today. I will get a nice walk and workout in before that. I have an appointment in Cranbrook to get my silver roots dyed out - I usually do it, but am treating myself : - ) 340 in the Green
Day 71: Wed, 9/22: 134.8 - Up 2 pounds since my birthday! Home now and will be back to work. 512 in the Green
Day 72: Thurs, 9/23: 134.5 - My calorie burn output is so much less this week in comparison to my input. I am not going to have the 300 calories of hummus with my peppers as my work snack today. 815 in the Green
Day 73: Fri, 9/24: 134.1 - Skipping the hummus helped, and that in turn helped my activity output number. The fresh peppers from my garden were completely delicious even without the hummus. 26 days to get back to my start weight. 518 in the Green
Day 74: Sat, 9/25: 133.7 - Great active days and 1 bad day led to a gain. 405 in the Green

11th Week Goal Weight:
11th Week Actual Weight: 133.7 - Up 1.6 pounds over the week : - (
Calorie deficit totals: 3008 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 75: Sun, 9/26: 132.9 - Okay, getting closer to my start weight 75 days ago. 1165 in the Green
Day 76: Mon, 9/27: 134.4 - Don't know why. I was getting closer to my start weight. I will try to be patient and stay "good" even though I am working splits most of the week and dinners will be late. 751 in the Green
Day 77: Tues, 9/28: ?? 733 in the Green
Day 78: Wed, 9/29: 134.8 - Looks like my yesterday's post didn't "take". These late dinners are taking a toll, but it is my work schedule which doesn't look like it will change. I am working splits until we replace the girl that moved away. Calorie input is on point, calorie output is on point. Looks like time of day of eating does make a difference. Skating starts mid-October here, but I may be working during public skating. The ice on the lakes doesn't freeze until well into December. Kind of resigning myself into the mid 130s for now. 776 in the Green.
Day 79: Thurs, 9/30: 133.4 - I am doing better with my calorie deficit this week compared to last. I really don't lose weight unless I average at least a 500 deficit each day. 376 in the Green
Day 80: Fri, 10/1: 134.4 - Kind of expected, my deficit was lower yesterday because I consumed more calories. 40 in the Green
Day 81: Sat, 10/2: 133.9 - Day off, going to go for a hike, have a good workout, and spend most of the day in the yard getting some harvest before the temps dip below freezing in a week from now. 737 in the Green

12th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 (That would be a 1 pound loss in 81 days)

12th Week Actual Weight: 133.9
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 - More than enough to lose a pound
Day 82: Sun, 10/3: 135.4 - I don't get it, not happy with this number after an awesome active day with healthy choices. 769 in the Green
Day 83: Mon, 10/4: 135.4 - Does my body just want to be this weight? Pants are tight! Late dinners with my work schedule are probably not helping. 715 in the Green
Day 84: Tues, 10/5: 134.3 - Late dinners are not going to be going away any time soon, but glad to be down slightly. 476 in the Green
Day 85: Wed, 10/6: 133.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the later dinners? 213 in the Green
Day 86: Thurs, 10/7: 134.5 - Going out for Jamaican food with a friend tomorrow night, then Turkey, stuffing, gravy, libations etc. start Saturday and go for 3 days. Going to get some extra activity in today and keep my eating light. 669 in the Green
Day 87: Fri, 10/8: 134.7 - kind of expected a drop this morning, but nope.
Day 88: Sat, 10/9: 136.4 - Dinner out at a restaurant. This is exactly why I haven't gone out to eat in a restaurant in years - weight gain. Thanksgiving dinner for the next 3, and although it will be homemade, it will include all kinds of fattening stuff. 974 in the Green

13th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 88 days!
13th Week Actual Weight: 136.4

100 Days of Accountability 7/14-10/21

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: 205 (7/13)
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

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: 206 (April 2021) ✔️:)

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

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day 1: Wed, 7/14: 207.0 Walked .9 + 1.75 miles, swimming, 1565 cal, 68 net carbs, AF. Hiking in Brazos State Park & swimming to entertain my daughter-in-law’s 5 yr old niece that is visiting. Came too close to an alligator! Wow that is a strange & disappointing jump up on the scale this morning! Could sweet potato fries do that much damage at lunch?
Day 2: Thurs, 7/15: 207.2 Walked 4.5 miles, bike 30 min, squats, hand weights, cal, net carbs, 1 Torchy’s Tini. Chili for lunch and Torchy’s for dinner. Walked the dog to my home owners’ assoc. local lap pool (heated during the winter) to see if my key card still works which was much further than I thought but a nice walk (better than jumping in the car!). It is still active so I guess I need to consider adding swimming laps to my routine. The dog & I were both exhausted walking in the heat but we beat the rain! Need to make a point to get out earlier in the morning.
Day 3: Fri, 7/16: 207.4 WI at 4am. Walk 2 + 1.3 miles, weeding/gardening, 2187 cal, 141 net carbs, AF (Neon Zebra margarita mocktail). Pizza for lunch & quesadillas for dinner. Need to clean up my meal planning.
Day 4: Sat, 7/17: 206.2 Walk 1 + 1.3 miles, 1892 cal, 95 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.

1st Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
1st Week Actual Weight: 206.2 (7 day avg 206.1)
1st Week Weight Loss: +1.2
Not even close. I was at 205 the day before the challenge started and it should have been easy peasy to make a 204.x goal. But on day 1 my weight skyrocketed. Finally got it going back down. Now to continue breaking through that 205 barrier.

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 207.0 Walk 1.3 miles , 1511 cal, 83 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Nice morning breakfast outside then farmers market with DD & her husband & dogs. A pretty lazy day but did throw out more stuff as I anticipate a possible move. Also sorted more of my kids’ medical, scouting and school records along with their birth, baptism, lifeguarding & other certificates to pass along to them. The idea of moving elsewhere away from the kids and all the community I’ve built up over the past 30 years in Houston is starting to stress me out. Drinking more, not paying attention to the meal planning, not sleeping well (dreams of what if) and in general riddled with anxiety.
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 205.9 Walked 3.2 miles, 1480 cal, 76 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Good day. Kids came over to cook burgers for lunch and chat.
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 207.1 Walked 3.25 miles, gardened, 1509 cal, 122 net carbs, AF. Lunch & dinner with friends first Thai and then Mediterranean so I’m assuming that this is sodium or hidden calories since I was in the green 246 calories yesterday. Plan is to stay on track today and drink LOTS of water.
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 204.9 Walk 4.5 + 1.3 miles, bike 30 min, squats & hand weights, 1252 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Big swoosh from yesterday which was an obvious sodium uptick. Now to keep this below 205 for the rest of the week!
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 204.3 Walk 3 + 1.3 miles, garden, 1161 cal, 49 net carbs, AF. Tried Kombucha for the first time. Kevita sparkling Lemon Cayenne. Nice change of pace!
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 204.6 Walk 3.3 miles, garden, 1439 cal, 77 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Today I’m meeting an old friend to walk the paths on Buffalo Bayou downtown Houston, Cisterns tour, and picnic!
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 204.5 Walked 2 + 3.4 + .6 miles Buffalo Bayou, 1564 cal, 101 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Wonderful active day! Closed all my rings plus overlapped the rings on the Apple Watch. 19550 steps!

Day 12: Sun, 7/25: 205.0 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 1538 cal, 120 net carbs, AF. Grimaldi’s pizza … need I say more? Drinking water!
Day 13: Mon, 7/26: 204.6 Walk 3.6 miles, bike 30 min, squats. plank & hand weights, 1649 cal, 64 net carbs, AF. Woke up too early and I was exhausted all day. Tried on every pant in my closet which was interesting. I’m pear shape size 18. I already threw out the size 20 & 22 pants. Put everything that was too small in another area to pull out when I’m 10 pounds lighter because though size 16 fits it doesn’t look great. I’m really apprehensive about this 1 hr Strong and Fit total body workout I signed up to take once per week. But I think it will be good for my bones & muscles as I age and hopefully it will help shape my legs, tummy and arms!
Day 14: Tues, 7/27: 204.6 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 14200 steps, total body workout class 1 hr, 1552 cal, 103 net carbs, AF. Survived my first Strong & Fit class one-hour total body workout increases muscle strength and endurance by using light weights and high repetition. Lots of lunges, squats, planks and such with tons of arm movement. Sore this morning.
Day 15: Wed, 7/28: 205.2 Walk 4.6 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, 2044 cal, 120 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Almost 500 cal in snacks during the day then changed dinner plans and went to a favorite Italian restaurant. Undid all my great efforts exercising in the morning.
Day 16: Thurs, 7/29: 205.0 Walk 2.3 miles, swim 400m, 2171 cal, 84 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. I’m really starting to feel all the muscles in my body adding the strength training Monday and then swimming Wednesday on top of my regular walking dog 100miles/month and bike 1x/wk.
Day 17: Fri, 7/30: 205.6 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walk 2 miles, long 5+ hr car ride, 11602 cal, 127 net carbs, AF. Got up and walked at 6am yesterday since I knew I was taking my mom to the doctor before driving to the camp. It all makes for a very long day.
Day 18: Sat, 7/31: 205.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, power washed the dock, 1789 cal, 108 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Took mom to the rehab center for her wrist and a lady behind us fell … took 3 people to get her up. Then neighbor at the camp fell hitting her head. She is 101 years old. Helped her until ambulance was able to make it out to our remote location. Then when her husband brought her back home he called again for me to help get her into bed. I did not sleep well. After seeing these 2 fall I REALLY want to lose weight. Being old, obese and not very mobile is not in my vision of my future. Ready to tackle August and lose more weight.

I was able to take last night’s smoked chicken and make chicken salad wraps to go with our wine for a relaxing TGIF at home!

I’ll take it!

Day 32: Sat, 8/14: 201.6 Walked 3.3 + .7 miles, swam laps 400m, treaded water 7 min, 1543 cal, 85 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Still eating more than the new target of 1300 cal but I’m definitely burning extra as well.
Do you eat your exercise calories?
I seem to eat at least half of mine each day usually as a snack. Trying to cut out the treats/something sweet after the meal but not successfully. This was never an issue before since I’m not a chocolate eater and normally ignore everything including ice cream but never ignore pie. Though for the last year … I’ve craved something sweet, choc and even ice cream … hmmm where did that habit come from?

5th Week Goal Weight: <202
5th Week Actual Weight: 201.6 (7 day avg 202.37)
5th Week Weight Loss: 2.1
Inching down a little each day/week toward 200! Next week is going to be really challenging since I have social events M-Th night at restaurants. I need to look up the menus and figure out a game plan.

Day 33: Sun, 8/15: 202.0 Walked 3.2 miles with my DD & her dogs, 1808 cal, 100 net carbs, 1 glass wine. In the red calorie wise so not surprised by the uptick on the scale. Wedding shower which included cake then my kids came over for dinner. Definitely what I would call a food day though I spent most of the time talking to friends and family.

NSV: Vanity sizing probably but I ordered pants and shorts for walking in a couple of different sizes along with the new swimsuit from Lands End. I’m sending back the XL pants & shorts and the 18 swimsuit! Keeping the L and 16. 😊 That feels good.
Day 38: Fri, 8/20: 203.0 Walked 4 miles, Bike 30 min, 1590 cal, 76 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Cooking class with friends where we made Fruit Empanadas, Paella Mixta, Tortilla Española. Exercised and fasted through breakfast but obviously not enough. Expected bump up after 4 evenings in a row eating at restaurants with friends. Gearing up for damage control and not let this be an excuse to continue to backslide.
Day 39: Sat, 8/21: 204.6 Walked 4 miles, Swam 500m + treaded water 12 min, 2003 cal, 110 net carbs, 3 glasses wine, >100 oz water. Great exercise day but snacked on way to many nuts, fries at lunch & rice at dinner. But wow the continued rise in the scale is worrying me!

6th Week Actual Weight: 204.6 (7 day avg 202.7)

Wrong direction. I need to turn this wagon around.

Day 40: Sun, 8/22: 203.6 Walked 4.5 + .5 miles, 1568 cal, 71 net carbs, AF. Planning fall road trip and kitchen remodel. My best friend has Covid running rampant in her family that live in Sulphur Louisiana starting early last week. Her vaccinated uncle passed away Friday & her unvaccinated brother is in the hospital. Both of their families now all have it as well. My unvaccinated DIL’s 2 brothers (age 24) in Lafayette Louisiana got it last weekend. One brother had it last summer but this time it is much worse. They were around my son & his wife over last weekend but they are both vaccinated and tested negative. Scary how fast it hits & spreads.
Day 41: Mon, 8/23: 203.5 Walked 3.2 + 1 miles, 1521 cal, 110 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Lazy day.
Day 42: Tues, 8/24: 203.7 Walked 3 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1656 cal, 156 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Cousin came in from Florida and we went to my sister’s for crawfish étouffée and wine … but I insisted on going to my exercise class before meeting up with them.
No swimming laps for a couple of weeks since they closed the olympic size lap pool for maintenance.
Thinking about signing up for twice per week strength classes in September to prep for hiking plans in Oct. The lunge part of the routine has made me much better at going up and down steps at home.
Day 43: Wed, 8/25: 201.9 Walked 2.4 miles, 1255 cal, 117 net carbs, AF. Walked first thing in the morning, breakfast, donated blood & cleaned out a few kitchen cabinets … all before lunch! Then yard work and more cabinets in the afternoon.

Needless to say eating fried chicken for lunch and then Italian dinner out did not soothe my feelings or help my progress on the scale. Rain and low energy yesterday and today.
Day 46: Sat, 8/28: 203.0 Walked 3.2 + .7 miles, 1496 cal, 127 net carbs, AF. Headache & fatigue kicked my butt after the Thursday shingles vaccine … read & slept a ton. Feeling better this morning.

DH met with allergist over Zoom and he thinks we might have covid … constant headaches for days w/ fatigue, tightness in DH’s chest … prescribed Prednisone for DH. Went to 8 local pharmacies and they were out of the rapid covid test (BinaxNOW). Scheduled PCR Covid 19 test Thursday morning but won’t have the results for 2-5 days. Our son has a rapid covid test and is dropping it off today. Good news is that we are both vaccinated. Not sure where we would have picked up covid … restaurant? grocery store? My sister that is an elementary teacher? Moved trip to fishing camp out to the next weekend.
Day 52: Fri, 9/3: 204.1 Walked 3 + 3.8 miles, 1588 cal, 116 net carbs, AF. Our son brought us a BinaxNOW covid home test kit … it was negative! So we both must have really bad colds since Sunday.

Day 65: Thurs, 9/16: 204.1 Walked 4.5 + 1 miles, 1845 cal, 117, 2 margaritas on the rocks. Book club met at a Mexican restaurant. My downfall … I’ve not been out to eat Mexican food and drink margaritas in a very long time. Put that with a group of ladies that enjoy “discussions” and it was a fun evening but filling!

Sandwich for lunch and then Italian including 2 pieces of garlic bread for dinner so no wonder # on scale. Got my flu shot today! I’m on a roll this year toward vaccines … first the Pfizer covid19 vaccine, then 1st Shingrix shingles vaccine and now the Fluzone Quad flu vaccine. Prepping DH & I for our vacation in October as well as our 1st grandchild which we are expecting in late December.
Day 67: Sat, 9/18: 203.2 Walked 2.9 miles, 1901 cal, 85 net carbs, AF. Dog sitting for my daughter and it is really hard to walk 3 large dogs together!

10th Week Actual Weight: 203.2

It’s now or never! Push through this and find the 202s again.

Then our husbands joined us for sushi dinner. Later in the evening DD & her hubby introduced us to 2 David Chang TV series “Ugly Delicious” and “The Mind of a Chef”. Wonderful Friday.

Day 76: Mon, 9/27: 202.7 Walked 3.4 miles, ? Cal, ? Net carbs, AF.

Snack monster got to me today … 2 Nestles Lil Drum ice cream, mixed nuts, peanut butter and sugar free dark chocolate most between lunch and dinner!

Day 78: Wed, 9/29: 203.6 Walked 1.3 Miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2047 cal, 149 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Rain which limited my walk. Teacher introduced a new exercise routine today that we’ll be using for the next 3 months. It was a killer … including 6+ min of slow motion squats with a weight bar. We did these before but not in real real slow 8 count up 8 count down. I’m really sore this morning!
Day 79: Thurs, 9/30: 203.7 Walked 3 Miles, 1574 cal, 126 net carbs, AF. Spent the day shopping & lunch with DD. She signed on with a new firm! And her husband also signed with a new company.

dawnbgethealthy

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 61, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
UGW 110-115

This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
24.8 pound loss over 601 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 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually! 917 in the Green
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 132.7 - Late dinner last night again due to work schedule. 313 in the Green
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 132.1 - Tonight will be late dinner again. 389 in the Green

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 3866 - Average 552, so should have lost a pound and did.

Day 12 Sun 7/25: 132.4 - My work schedule is posted, I am working the day shifts until Friday, eating dinner earlier will be a benefit to my weight loss I believe. 970 in the Green
Day 13 Mon 7/26: 132.4 - I got a bunch of yard work done yesterday (drop in the bucket) even though it is smoky around here. 1070 in the Green
Day 14 Tues 7/27: 132.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, dance workout to warm up, HIIT with weights to follow, gardening/yard time before work and after work, plus the 300-400 that I usually burn at work running around. Back to start weight. 217 in the Green
Day 15 Wed 7/28: 132.1 55 in the Green
Day 16 Thurs 7/29: 134.8 - Ouch 595 in the Green
Day 17 Fri 7/30: 134.8 - Not happy about this of course, but taking it in stride. Hopefully my 500 deficit that I aim for will average out over the week, I haven't had time for workouts because of being wrapped up trying to fix my car issues. Spent the entire day yesterday buying a new one, but still have to deal with the dead one in the retail parking lot. On evening shifts for the next couple of weeks, so eating times are a challenge for me. 325 in the Green
Day 18 Sat 7/31: 133.8 - Down a pound since yesterday, carved out time to work out. My body will just have to get used to eating late after work. 866 in the Green

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.8 - Gain of 1.4 this week, don't want this to get away from me.
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 4098


Day 19: Sun, 8/1: 132.9 - My internal clock is off working evening shifts, glad to see a tiny drop. Last week was kind of disastrous on the scale. I had planned an indulgent day after tonight's shift, we'll see. 243 in the Green
Day 20: Mon, 8/2: 133.3 - We had a bit of drizzle last night, hoping that it will help with the fires 574 in the Green
Day 21: Tues, 8/3: 133.3 - 738 in the Green
Day 22: Wed, 8/4: 132.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the evening shifts and late dinner. 374 in the Green
Day 23: Thurs, 8/5: 132.8 - was planning some indulgence tonight after work, we'll see. 93 in the Green
Day 24: Fri, 8/6: 134.2 - Had wings last night, but also only 3 hours of sleep and water before weighing at 4am. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be better. Day off today, so will get lots of workouts and yard work done, not another day off until next Thursday. 371 in the Green
Day 25: Sat, 8/7: 134.3 - Wings again 468 in the Green

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 -

Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 2861 - not enough to lose a pound

Day 26: Sun, 8/8: 136.0 - Double ouch. So hard to lose it, and so quick and easy to put it back on. 675 in the Green
Day 27: Mon, 8/9: 135.5 - It was so nice to eat dinner at a normal time. 1248 in the4 Green!!
Day 28: Tues, 8/10: 132.6 - Ended up with evening shifts after all, on top of day shifts. Burned a tonne yesterday after an unexpected shift. Didn't finish dinner until 11:30pm. 590
Day 29: Wed, 8/11: 131.7 - Very pleased with this, but will try not to get complacent after the huge jump in weight recently. Glad to see the drop a few days after the big calorie burn. Holding off on ribs for this month so far. 407 in the Green
Day 30: Thurs, 8/12: 132.9 - I basically only had snacks and Mojitos with a friend, no dinner. 541 in the Green
Day 31: Fri, 8/13: 134.0 - A couple of indulgent days. 146 in the Green
Day 32: Sat, 8/14: 134.7 - Self-imposed. 781 in the Green

5th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, seems a bit ambitious at this point, but going for it anyway
5th Week Actual Weight: 134.7 - Saw the 131s once this week.
Calorie Deficit totals: (Green on the Tracker) 4388 - enough to lose a pound.

Day 33: Sun, 8/15: 135.9 - Had a good calorie burn yesterday, so expect a good drop over the next couple of days. No reason for the gain today, so last week is still tolling. It always takes a few days in either direction. 581 in the Green
Day 34: Mon, 8/16: 134.4 - Working to get it down this week. 763 in the Green
Day 35: Tues, 8/17: 133.9 - Doing a split today, so dinner will be late. 1193 in the Green
Day 36: Wed, 8/18: 133.1 - Crazy amount of calories burned yesterday - A nice long workout in the morning and then a double shift waitressing where I burned almost 1000 calories running around - it was busy! Had a very late dinner. Normal dinners at normal times for the next 2 at least. 51 in the Green
Day 37: Thurs, 8/19: 134.3 - Not enough of a deficit yesterday. 567 in the Green
Day 38: Fri, 8/20: 134.9 - Disappointed for sure. I have a get together tonight, so am not expecting much of a loss for tomorrow morning. 232 in the Green
Day 39: Sat, 8/21: 134.3 - I know my exercise numbers, but my food numbers will be guestimates at best, lots of snacks with Mojitos - nuts, crackers, cheese etc. Like 1 ounce of cheese or 4? 10 crackers or 50? I am editing now, I went in and overestimated on the snacks. I had burned 1050 (including cutting the grass, work, a work out etc.) so did have a bit of a buffer. 201 in the RED

6th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th.
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie deficit totals: 3186 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 40: Sun, 8/22: 134.7 - I was in the red yesterday, which has only ever happened a couple of times. 453 in the Green
Day 41: Mon, 8/23: 135.6 - Had a great workout and a hike yesterday, even slept as late as possible because I have an evening shift today. Not sure where the spike came from, maybe left over from Friday or Saturday or both. 456 in the Green
Day 42: Tues, 8/24: 135.1 - Sticking with the plan. 499 in the Green
Day 43: Wed, 8/25: 136.4 - Last November's weight : - ( 710 in the Green
Day 44: Thurs, 8/26: 134.4 - Teeter tottering. 250 in the Green
Day 45: Fri, 8/27: 134.8 - CICO was - just okay yesterday. I really don't lose weight if I don't have a 500 in the Green. 774 in the Green
Day 46: Sat, 8/28: 136.5 - Ouch 486 in the Green

7th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th. Kind of unrealistic for this week, but aiming.
7th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Calorie deficit totals: 3628

Day 47: Sun, 8/29: 136.5 - Day off today, I will likely get in some extra activity. My last measurements were at 130.6, not going to be measuring right now lol. Pants are tight for sure. 580 in the green
Day 48: Mon, 8/30: 137.0 - I have really been climbing these past 2 months. Not feeling good about that.
Day 49: Tues, 8/31: 134.7 - Late dinner last night and will be again tonight because I am working a split. I should be happy to see this drop, but am not. I really started the weight climb in July. I will have to turn it around. 1146 in the Green
Day 50: Wed, 9/1: 134.0 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, more than I actually ate!. Double shift, workouts. August is gone and I did not even have Ribs because I am unwilling to stop fighting the battle of the bugle. Halfway mark today, and I am up almost 2 pounds from the start of the 100. Expecting a good drop tomorrow morning reflecting yesterday's huge calorie burn. 951 in the Green
Day 51: Thurs, 9/2: 133.9 - Kind of expected a bigger drop today after cutting the grass, yardwork, workouts, work, and low calories. I haven't had Ribs since July and was thinking that I might have some tonight if my weight was down more. I get a really good discount on Indian Food at the restaurant, but I have been avoiding that as well. Had a bit of a Eureka moment talking to a friend yesterday, I lose most of my weight for the year during skating season - I burn lots of calories and keep my food pretty good year round, is it the joy that skating gives me that changes the chemistry in my body? Or is it that I love skating so much that I do it for longer than other things. Not sure, but have decided to not beat myself up that the weight isn't coming off right now. 377 in the RED
Day 52: Fri, 9/3: 135.3 - Ribs last night. Memphis Dry Rub. Soooo yummy. I may pay for that on the scale for awhile, but it was kind of worth it. 693 in the Green
Day 53: Sat, 9/4: 135.8 - expected to see a Ribs uptick for a couple of days, I'm okay with it. 724 in the Green

8th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Plugging it in again, someday I will hit it, I hit 130.6 last 100
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Calorie deficit totals: 4305 - enough to lose a pound and I came close to that, 0.7 off of day 47

Day 54: Sun, 9/5: 136.3 - Still the aftermath of the Ribs? I was "good" yesterday. 352 in the Green
Day 55: Mon, 9/6: 135.5 - Better. Still paying for Thursday's Ribs, but I am okay with that. 790 in the Green
Day 56: Tues, 9/7: 135.2 No woosh, but steadily coming down. 787 in the Green
Day 57: Wed, 9/8: 135.1 - On split shifts yesterday and today, so late dinners. Glad to still see a small drop. 7 days to get the Ribs off? 1226 in the Green
Day 58: Thurs, 9/9: 134.1 - That is a nice drop. Yesterday's numbers are not sustainable (burned more than I ate!), but glad that they made a difference. 1060 in the Green
Day 59: Fri, 9/10: 133.7 - Planned indulgences tonight after work. 390 in the Green
Day 60: Sat, 9/11: 134.1 - I had some food from Spice Hut, the Indian restaurant where I work. Mutter Paneer. It was really good, I ate half. This is only the second time that I have had food from there since April. With all of the activity that I had, I have skimmed 2.2 pounds off of the beginning of this week. 12 in the Green

9th Week Goal Weight: 133.3
9th Week Actual Weight: 134.1
Calorie deficit totals: 4617 enough to lose a pound and I did

Day 61: Sun, 9/12: DNW, woke up at 3am and had water, coffee, etc. I expected to be able to go back to sleep before my 5pm shift, but couldn't. 908 in the Green
Day 62: Mon, 9/13: 137.8 - This weight is unacceptable, I hit it last November. I have got a frantic week and then am gone on 5 days vacation. I will be taking rice cakes and almond butter for sure on my trip. 350 in the Green
Day 63: Tues, 9/14: 134.7 - Okay. Scrambling to get a few things done before I leave at 3pm on Thursday. Tomatoes and Peppers are now covered in case of frost while I am gone. Doing extra shifts at work to allow for my upcoming time off. 927 in the Green
Day 64: Wed, 9/15: 133.9 - 2 more workdays before vacay : - ) 336 in the Green
Day 65: Thurs, 9/16: 134.4 1133 in the Green
Day 66: Fri, 9/17: 132.9 - Started this 100 off at 132.2. Worked and then traveled yesterday. Yes, I brought my scale. I did not eat nearly enough yesterday. Skating today for the first time this season : - ) 949 in the Green
Day 67: Sat, 9/18: 131.8 - Hard pressed to get enough calories in, I supplemented with Pringles, champagne, and brandy last night 1375 in the Green


10th Week Goal Weight: 131.1
10th Week Actual Weight: 131.8 - That scary spike up to 137.8 this week? Well, I just hope to never see that again!
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 definitely enough to lose a pound or more


Day 68: Sun, 9/19: 132.1 - I was awake way too early, I expect that my weight would be less had I not weighed at 4am. Having said that, I plan to indulge over the next few days. Today is a driving day, I will get a workout in before I hit the road. 391 in the Green
Day 69: Mon, 9/20: 132.8 - My 61st birthday, so down 7.3 pounds since my 60th. I'll take it : - ) Still up above my 100 day start weight, and planning on indulging some more today. Perhaps my high output days will save me a little. 27 in the Green
Day 70: Tues, 9/21: 134.0 - Hiked all day yesterday, hopefully that will catch up on the scale in the days to come. Driving home today. I will get a nice walk and workout in before that. I have an appointment in Cranbrook to get my silver roots dyed out - I usually do it, but am treating myself : - ) 340 in the Green
Day 71: Wed, 9/22: 134.8 - Up 2 pounds since my birthday! Home now and will be back to work. 512 in the Green
Day 72: Thurs, 9/23: 134.5 - My calorie burn output is so much less this week in comparison to my input. I am not going to have the 300 calories of hummus with my peppers as my work snack today. 815 in the Green
Day 73: Fri, 9/24: 134.1 - Skipping the hummus helped, and that in turn helped my activity output number. The fresh peppers from my garden were completely delicious even without the hummus. 26 days to get back to my start weight. 518 in the Green
Day 74: Sat, 9/25: 133.7 - Great active days and 1 bad day led to a gain. 405 in the Green

11th Week Goal Weight:

Calorie deficit totals: 3008 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 75: Sun, 9/26: 132.9 - Okay, getting closer to my start weight 75 days ago. 1165 in the Green
Day 76: Mon, 9/27: 134.4 - Don't know why. I was getting closer to my start weight. I will try to be patient and stay "good" even though I am working splits most of the week and dinners will be late. 751 in the Green
Day 77: Tues, 9/28: ?? 733 in the Green
Day 78: Wed, 9/29: 134.8 - Looks like my yesterday's post didn't "take". These late dinners are taking a toll, but it is my work schedule which doesn't look like it will change. I am working splits until we replace the girl that moved away. Calorie input is on point, calorie output is on point. Looks like time of day of eating does make a difference. Skating starts mid-October here, but I may be working during public skating. The ice on the lakes doesn't freeze until well into December. Kind of resigning myself into the mid 130s for now. 776 in the Green.
Day 79: Thurs, 9/30: 133.4 - I am doing better with my calorie deficit this week compared to last. I really don't lose weight unless I average at least a 500 deficit each day. 376 in the Green
Day 80: Fri, 10/1: 134.4 - Kind of expected, my deficit was lower yesterday because I consumed more calories. 40 in the Green
Day 81: Sat, 10/2: 133.9 - Day off, going to go for a hike, have a good workout, and spend most of the day in the yard getting some harvest before the temps dip below freezing in a week from now. 737 in the Green

12th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 (That would be a 1 pound loss in 81 days)
12th Week Actual Weight: 133.9
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 - More than enough to lose a pound
Day 82: Sun, 10/3: 135.4 - I don't get it, not happy with this number after an awesome active day with healthy choices. 769 in the Green
Day 83: Mon, 10/4: 135.4 - Does my body just want to be this weight? Pants are tight! Late dinners with my work schedule are probably not helping. 715 in the Green
Day 84: Tues, 10/5: 134.3 - Late dinners are not going to be going away any time soon, but glad to be down slightly. 476 in the Green
Day 85: Wed, 10/6: 133.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the later dinners? 213 in the Green
Day 86: Thurs, 10/7: 134.5 - Going out for Jamaican food with a friend tomorrow night, then Turkey, stuffing, gravy, libations etc. start Saturday and go for 3 days. Going to get some extra activity in today and keep my eating light. 669 in the Green
Day 87: Fri, 10/8: 134.7 - kind of expected a drop this morning, but nope.
Day 88: Sat, 10/9: 136.4 - Dinner out at a restaurant. This is exactly why I haven't gone out to eat in a restaurant in years - weight gain. Thanksgiving dinner for the next 3, and although it will be homemade, it will include all kinds of fattening stuff. 974 in the Green

13th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 88 days!
13th Week Actual Weight: 136.4 - 1 dinner out really got me.
Calorie deficit totals: 4022 - enough to lose a pound

Day 89: Sun, 10/10: 137.4 - 1st day of Thanksgiving eating. I will try to cut the portions over the next 2. It took me 300 days to take off what I just put on, but whatever, really delicious foods. 509 in the Green
Day 90: Mon, 10/11: 137.0 - Lots more Turkey with all the trimmings to eat still. I will try to gets lots of activity in. 1387 in the Green
Day 91: Tues, 10/12: 136.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, 5 hours digging up potatoes on top of workouts and work Only a few rows left to do in the potato garden, if the snow flies I will at least have gotten most of them out. Portioning out my Thanksgiving leftovers still. 811 in the Green
Day 92: Wed, 10/13: 135.5 - A couple more days of Thanksgiving leftovers still, but they are all portioned out. Glad to see the scale moving back down after that one dinner out and feasting for Thanksgiving.

Hopefully, knowing that, I will be able to do better on my eating. Today the well company comes back. Of course, it breaks down when they are NOT here, instead of when they are. This time, I hope they can figure out from the patterns what is going on. Praying it’s adjustments and not new pump or well. I am starving already (which happens after a day of eating with all caution to the wind). It won’t be easy, but I’ve got to be creative today and make it a good day.

************************************************************


Day 80 – 10/01 …..187.0……Oops. Typed my weight wrong yesterday. It was 186.2. Corrected now. Up again today after a full-on binge. It was ridiculous. May be traveling tomorrow too so that won’t help. I’ve got to make today count!
Day 81 – 10/02 …..185.0……Got back on track yesterday with carefully planned meals and snacks. I burned 2900 calories overall for the day with over 16,000 steps working outside painting and staining again. The work itself was not a big calorie burner, it was going up & down my slope of a yard into the house and back that really gave me the burn, the flights of stairs documented on fitbit and the steps. Today will be opposite. Lots of car sitting/driving. Restaurant meal(s). I will try to choose carefully remembering that whatever damage I do, I will have to work hard to get rid of in the upcoming week. Maybe that will help my choices as I look over the menu. Because of my eating issues, sometimes it is hard to find the right things, but I will be thoughtful.
Day 82 – 10/03 …..187.0……There’s the expected uptick. Now, to work it back down!
Day 83 – 10/04 …..187.2…… Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
Day 84 – 10/05 …..186.8…… I ended up eating into the red on my mfp log after I logged it out. An extra 410 calories but it was healthy small meal and I was hungry. My overall fitbit calorie expenditure minus my food stayed in the green and so I saw a small loss which is better than nothing! I will aim to spread my meals out better today. I ate too early yesterday, thus the nighttime hunger.
Day 85 – 10/06 …..184.6….. Finally my TMI body functions worked properly yesterday so it was reflected on the scale today. It’s nice to know where I really am without false inflated numbers from no TMI or from water retention after a high sodium choice. Not too bad. Now it’s time to think about getting closer to 180.
Day 86 – 10/07 …..184.8……A normal overnight fluctuation. I had a good day and plan on another one today. I’m down 10.4 pounds since the start of this round. I lost 12.4 in the last round (#8). I’m not going to say those are stellar performances because I know I could have done better so so so many times on choices. I also know that my exercise and movement has been INCREDIBLY stifled. But I am glad for the progress that I feel is very good considering my eating issues and my renovation (trapped inside at home) situations. Most of the time it feels like not much progress. It’s nice being able to look back at 100 days at a time and see that I’m doing something right.
Day 87 – 10/08 …..185.6……There is absolutely no reason for such an uptick. I am thinking my body is recompensating for some recent larger drops. I stayed in the green yesterday and did not even log all the extra activity that I did. I am going to try to follow how certain food choices are affecting me (even though they keep me in the green and with good macros). Not an easy thing to do when TMI is not regular and with water retention at times. But I just want to see a pattern of something that may be helping or hurting. I plan another good day today except rain is expected all day. Very cold and damp.
Day 88 – 10/09 …..184.0……Okay. It finally shows up in a more accurate range than that Godforsaken bump up yesterday without cause! I’m dreaming of 182 point anything. I hit it back on Sept 1st for a minute and a half. I’m sure it was not accurate. However, I like the way it digitally shined up at me from the scale. Reaching for those stars as it’s about halfway to hitting the 170’s. I just checked my stats. My lowest weight since 2006 (15 years ago) was 174 .6 which I hit three years ago in Oct 2018. Inching my way to the 170’s and getting there will really boost my morale.
Day 89 – 10/10 …..185.6……My daughter moved back in last night with my 3 year old grandson. Figuring out meals for me will be tough. She has already brought us Chinese food which I think caused water retention this morning. I was only over by around 100 yesterday after eating a yogurt. So I’m thinking the sodium. Either that or cortisol. This is stressful while so many are in the house on these reno projects too. I can barely walk through between drywall buckets, pain buckets, boxes of ceramic tile and toys. I’ll try to stay positive.
Day 90 – 10/11 …..185.6……(Trend weight 188.1)My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween candy for a party she had been planning. She has now had to cancel it due to her circumstances. I’m talking Reeses pumpkins, kit-kats, Hershey kisses galore, the whole 9 yards. Today I am going to carry the whole huge basket and bags upstairs to get it out of my face. My hips don’t need it and neither does my diabetes. I ate many pieces yesterday. I suspect it will show up on the scale sooner or later since I am babysitting now and can’t get out at all. I’ll need to make a plan. I adore my DGS but he is demanding and takes up every moment of my time. Lots to figure out here.
Day 91 – 10/12 …..185.6……(Trend weight 187.9) My daughter will be making goodie bags for the kids originally invited to her Halloween party she’s cancelled. She will hand deliver them. Anything leftover she will take to work. It was a nice and fruitful talk. Travel today. Dinner will be out so I expect an uptick tomorrow. I wish there had been a small change on the scale today because yesterday was an excellent day for me. However, all good things come to those who wait, so Do You Hear Me Universe? I’m Waiting…….
Day 92 – 10/13 …..187.0……(Trend weight 187.8) Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. I’ve got to try to offset today's travel uptick while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers (including one's family members who will sit at my kitchen table all day) expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning. BTW, the one who leaves latest is the one with the family. My dinner is often very late.

dawnbgethealthy

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 61, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
UGW 110-115

This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
24.8 pound loss over 601 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 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually! 917 in the Green
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 132.7 - Late dinner last night again due to work schedule. 313 in the Green
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 132.1 - Tonight will be late dinner again. 389 in the Green

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 3866 - Average 552, so should have lost a pound and did.

Day 12 Sun 7/25: 132.4 - My work schedule is posted, I am working the day shifts until Friday, eating dinner earlier will be a benefit to my weight loss I believe. 970 in the Green
Day 13 Mon 7/26: 132.4 - I got a bunch of yard work done yesterday (drop in the bucket) even though it is smoky around here. 1070 in the Green
Day 14 Tues 7/27: 132.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, dance workout to warm up, HIIT with weights to follow, gardening/yard time before work and after work, plus the 300-400 that I usually burn at work running around. Back to start weight. 217 in the Green
Day 15 Wed 7/28: 132.1 55 in the Green
Day 16 Thurs 7/29: 134.8 - Ouch 595 in the Green
Day 17 Fri 7/30: 134.8 - Not happy about this of course, but taking it in stride. Hopefully my 500 deficit that I aim for will average out over the week, I haven't had time for workouts because of being wrapped up trying to fix my car issues. Spent the entire day yesterday buying a new one, but still have to deal with the dead one in the retail parking lot. On evening shifts for the next couple of weeks, so eating times are a challenge for me. 325 in the Green
Day 18 Sat 7/31: 133.8 - Down a pound since yesterday, carved out time to work out. My body will just have to get used to eating late after work. 866 in the Green

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.8 - Gain of 1.4 this week, don't want this to get away from me.
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 4098


Day 19: Sun, 8/1: 132.9 - My internal clock is off working evening shifts, glad to see a tiny drop. Last week was kind of disastrous on the scale. I had planned an indulgent day after tonight's shift, we'll see. 243 in the Green
Day 20: Mon, 8/2: 133.3 - We had a bit of drizzle last night, hoping that it will help with the fires 574 in the Green
Day 21: Tues, 8/3: 133.3 - 738 in the Green
Day 22: Wed, 8/4: 132.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the evening shifts and late dinner. 374 in the Green
Day 23: Thurs, 8/5: 132.8 - was planning some indulgence tonight after work, we'll see. 93 in the Green
Day 24: Fri, 8/6: 134.2 - Had wings last night, but also only 3 hours of sleep and water before weighing at 4am. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be better. Day off today, so will get lots of workouts and yard work done, not another day off until next Thursday. 371 in the Green
Day 25: Sat, 8/7: 134.3 - Wings again 468 in the Green

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 -
4th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 2861 - not enough to lose a pound

Day 26: Sun, 8/8: 136.0 - Double ouch. So hard to lose it, and so quick and easy to put it back on. 675 in the Green
Day 27: Mon, 8/9: 135.5 - It was so nice to eat dinner at a normal time. 1248 in the4 Green!!
Day 28: Tues, 8/10: 132.6 - Ended up with evening shifts after all, on top of day shifts. Burned a tonne yesterday after an unexpected shift. Didn't finish dinner until 11:30pm. 590
Day 29: Wed, 8/11: 131.7 - Very pleased with this, but will try not to get complacent after the huge jump in weight recently. Glad to see the drop a few days after the big calorie burn. Holding off on ribs for this month so far. 407 in the Green
Day 30: Thurs, 8/12: 132.9 - I basically only had snacks and Mojitos with a friend, no dinner. 541 in the Green
Day 31: Fri, 8/13: 134.0 - A couple of indulgent days. 146 in the Green
Day 32: Sat, 8/14: 134.7 - Self-imposed. 781 in the Green

5th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, seems a bit ambitious at this point, but going for it anyway
5th Week Actual Weight: 134.7 - Saw the 131s once this week.
Calorie Deficit totals: (Green on the Tracker) 4388 - enough to lose a pound.

Day 33: Sun, 8/15: 135.9 - Had a good calorie burn yesterday, so expect a good drop over the next couple of days. No reason for the gain today, so last week is still tolling. It always takes a few days in either direction. 581 in the Green
Day 34: Mon, 8/16: 134.4 - Working to get it down this week. 763 in the Green
Day 35: Tues, 8/17: 133.9 - Doing a split today, so dinner will be late. 1193 in the Green
Day 36: Wed, 8/18: 133.1 - Crazy amount of calories burned yesterday - A nice long workout in the morning and then a double shift waitressing where I burned almost 1000 calories running around - it was busy! Had a very late dinner. Normal dinners at normal times for the next 2 at least. 51 in the Green
Day 37: Thurs, 8/19: 134.3 - Not enough of a deficit yesterday. 567 in the Green
Day 38: Fri, 8/20: 134.9 - Disappointed for sure. I have a get together tonight, so am not expecting much of a loss for tomorrow morning. 232 in the Green
Day 39: Sat, 8/21: 134.3 - I know my exercise numbers, but my food numbers will be guestimates at best, lots of snacks with Mojitos - nuts, crackers, cheese etc. Like 1 ounce of cheese or 4? 10 crackers or 50? I am editing now, I went in and overestimated on the snacks. I had burned 1050 (including cutting the grass, work, a work out etc.) so did have a bit of a buffer. 201 in the RED

6th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th.
6th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie deficit totals: 3186 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 40: Sun, 8/22: 134.7 - I was in the red yesterday, which has only ever happened a couple of times. 453 in the Green
Day 41: Mon, 8/23: 135.6 - Had a great workout and a hike yesterday, even slept as late as possible because I have an evening shift today. Not sure where the spike came from, maybe left over from Friday or Saturday or both. 456 in the Green
Day 42: Tues, 8/24: 135.1 - Sticking with the plan. 499 in the Green
Day 43: Wed, 8/25: 136.4 - Last November's weight : - ( 710 in the Green
Day 44: Thurs, 8/26: 134.4 - Teeter tottering. 250 in the Green
Day 45: Fri, 8/27: 134.8 - CICO was - just okay yesterday. I really don't lose weight if I don't have a 500 in the Green. 774 in the Green
Day 46: Sat, 8/28: 136.5 - Ouch 486 in the Green

7th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - I keep plugging that one in. I was 141.1 on my birthday last year, aiming to have lost 10 pounds by September 20th. Kind of unrealistic for this week, but aiming.
7th Week Actual Weight: 136.5
Calorie deficit totals: 3628

Day 47: Sun, 8/29: 136.5 - Day off today, I will likely get in some extra activity. My last measurements were at 130.6, not going to be measuring right now lol. Pants are tight for sure. 580 in the green
Day 48: Mon, 8/30: 137.0 - I have really been climbing these past 2 months. Not feeling good about that.
Day 49: Tues, 8/31: 134.7 - Late dinner last night and will be again tonight because I am working a split. I should be happy to see this drop, but am not. I really started the weight climb in July. I will have to turn it around. 1146 in the Green
Day 50: Wed, 9/1: 134.0 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, more than I actually ate!. Double shift, workouts. August is gone and I did not even have Ribs because I am unwilling to stop fighting the battle of the bugle. Halfway mark today, and I am up almost 2 pounds from the start of the 100. Expecting a good drop tomorrow morning reflecting yesterday's huge calorie burn. 951 in the Green
Day 51: Thurs, 9/2: 133.9 - Kind of expected a bigger drop today after cutting the grass, yardwork, workouts, work, and low calories. I haven't had Ribs since July and was thinking that I might have some tonight if my weight was down more. I get a really good discount on Indian Food at the restaurant, but I have been avoiding that as well. Had a bit of a Eureka moment talking to a friend yesterday, I lose most of my weight for the year during skating season - I burn lots of calories and keep my food pretty good year round, is it the joy that skating gives me that changes the chemistry in my body? Or is it that I love skating so much that I do it for longer than other things. Not sure, but have decided to not beat myself up that the weight isn't coming off right now. 377 in the RED
Day 52: Fri, 9/3: 135.3 - Ribs last night. Memphis Dry Rub. Soooo yummy. I may pay for that on the scale for awhile, but it was kind of worth it. 693 in the Green
Day 53: Sat, 9/4: 135.8 - expected to see a Ribs uptick for a couple of days, I'm okay with it. 724 in the Green

8th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Plugging it in again, someday I will hit it, I hit 130.6 last 100
8th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
Calorie deficit totals: 4305 - enough to lose a pound and I came close to that, 0.7 off of day 47

Day 54: Sun, 9/5: 136.3 - Still the aftermath of the Ribs? I was "good" yesterday. 352 in the Green
Day 55: Mon, 9/6: 135.5 - Better. Still paying for Thursday's Ribs, but I am okay with that. 790 in the Green
Day 56: Tues, 9/7: 135.2 No woosh, but steadily coming down. 787 in the Green
Day 57: Wed, 9/8: 135.1 - On split shifts yesterday and today, so late dinners. Glad to still see a small drop. 7 days to get the Ribs off? 1226 in the Green
Day 58: Thurs, 9/9: 134.1 - That is a nice drop. Yesterday's numbers are not sustainable (burned more than I ate!), but glad that they made a difference. 1060 in the Green
Day 59: Fri, 9/10: 133.7 - Planned indulgences tonight after work. 390 in the Green
Day 60: Sat, 9/11: 134.1 - I had some food from Spice Hut, the Indian restaurant where I work. Mutter Paneer. It was really good, I ate half. This is only the second time that I have had food from there since April. With all of the activity that I had, I have skimmed 2.2 pounds off of the beginning of this week. 12 in the Green

9th Week Goal Weight: 133.3
9th Week Actual Weight: 134.1
Calorie deficit totals: 4617 enough to lose a pound and I did

Day 61: Sun, 9/12: DNW, woke up at 3am and had water, coffee, etc. I expected to be able to go back to sleep before my 5pm shift, but couldn't. 908 in the Green
Day 62: Mon, 9/13: 137.8 - This weight is unacceptable, I hit it last November. I have got a frantic week and then am gone on 5 days vacation. I will be taking rice cakes and almond butter for sure on my trip. 350 in the Green
Day 63: Tues, 9/14: 134.7 - Okay. Scrambling to get a few things done before I leave at 3pm on Thursday. Tomatoes and Peppers are now covered in case of frost while I am gone. Doing extra shifts at work to allow for my upcoming time off. 927 in the Green
Day 64: Wed, 9/15: 133.9 - 2 more workdays before vacay : - ) 336 in the Green
Day 65: Thurs, 9/16: 134.4 1133 in the Green
Day 66: Fri, 9/17: 132.9 - Started this 100 off at 132.2. Worked and then traveled yesterday. Yes, I brought my scale. I did not eat nearly enough yesterday. Skating today for the first time this season : - ) 949 in the Green
Day 67: Sat, 9/18: 131.8 - Hard pressed to get enough calories in, I supplemented with Pringles, champagne, and brandy last night 1375 in the Green


10th Week Goal Weight: 131.1
10th Week Actual Weight: 131.8 - That scary spike up to 137.8 this week? Well, I just hope to never see that again!
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 definitely enough to lose a pound or more


Day 68: Sun, 9/19: 132.1 - I was awake way too early, I expect that my weight would be less had I not weighed at 4am. Having said that, I plan to indulge over the next few days. Today is a driving day, I will get a workout in before I hit the road. 391 in the Green
Day 69: Mon, 9/20: 132.8 - My 61st birthday, so down 7.3 pounds since my 60th. I'll take it : - ) Still up above my 100 day start weight, and planning on indulging some more today. Perhaps my high output days will save me a little. 27 in the Green
Day 70: Tues, 9/21: 134.0 - Hiked all day yesterday, hopefully that will catch up on the scale in the days to come. Driving home today. I will get a nice walk and workout in before that. I have an appointment in Cranbrook to get my silver roots dyed out - I usually do it, but am treating myself : - ) 340 in the Green
Day 71: Wed, 9/22: 134.8 - Up 2 pounds since my birthday! Home now and will be back to work. 512 in the Green
Day 72: Thurs, 9/23: 134.5 - My calorie burn output is so much less this week in comparison to my input. I am not going to have the 300 calories of hummus with my peppers as my work snack today. 815 in the Green
Day 73: Fri, 9/24: 134.1 - Skipping the hummus helped, and that in turn helped my activity output number. The fresh peppers from my garden were completely delicious even without the hummus. 26 days to get back to my start weight. 518 in the Green
Day 74: Sat, 9/25: 133.7 - Great active days and 1 bad day led to a gain. 405 in the Green

11th Week Goal Weight:
11th Week Actual Weight: 133.7 - Up 1.6 pounds over the week : - (
Calorie deficit totals: 3008 - Not enough to lose a pound

Day 75: Sun, 9/26: 132.9 - Okay, getting closer to my start weight 75 days ago. 1165 in the Green
Day 76: Mon, 9/27: 134.4 - Don't know why. I was getting closer to my start weight. I will try to be patient and stay "good" even though I am working splits most of the week and dinners will be late. 751 in the Green
Day 77: Tues, 9/28: ?? 733 in the Green
Day 78: Wed, 9/29: 134.8 - Looks like my yesterday's post didn't "take". These late dinners are taking a toll, but it is my work schedule which doesn't look like it will change. I am working splits until we replace the girl that moved away. Calorie input is on point, calorie output is on point. Looks like time of day of eating does make a difference. Skating starts mid-October here, but I may be working during public skating. The ice on the lakes doesn't freeze until well into December. Kind of resigning myself into the mid 130s for now. 776 in the Green.
Day 79: Thurs, 9/30: 133.4 - I am doing better with my calorie deficit this week compared to last. I really don't lose weight unless I average at least a 500 deficit each day. 376 in the Green
Day 80: Fri, 10/1: 134.4 - Kind of expected, my deficit was lower yesterday because I consumed more calories. 40 in the Green
Day 81: Sat, 10/2: 133.9 - Day off, going to go for a hike, have a good workout, and spend most of the day in the yard getting some harvest before the temps dip below freezing in a week from now. 737 in the Green

12th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 (That would be a 1 pound loss in 81 days)
12th Week Actual Weight: 133.9
Calorie deficit totals: 5978 - More than enough to lose a pound
Day 82: Sun, 10/3: 135.4 - I don't get it, not happy with this number after an awesome active day with healthy choices. 769 in the Green
Day 83: Mon, 10/4: 135.4 - Does my body just want to be this weight? Pants are tight! Late dinners with my work schedule are probably not helping. 715 in the Green
Day 84: Tues, 10/5: 134.3 - Late dinners are not going to be going away any time soon, but glad to be down slightly. 476 in the Green
Day 85: Wed, 10/6: 133.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the later dinners? 213 in the Green
Day 86: Thurs, 10/7: 134.5 - Going out for Jamaican food with a friend tomorrow night, then Turkey, stuffing, gravy, libations etc. start Saturday and go for 3 days. Going to get some extra activity in today and keep my eating light. 669 in the Green
Day 87: Fri, 10/8: 134.7 - kind of expected a drop this morning, but nope.
Day 88: Sat, 10/9: 136.4 - Dinner out at a restaurant. This is exactly why I haven't gone out to eat in a restaurant in years - weight gain. Thanksgiving dinner for the next 3, and although it will be homemade, it will include all kinds of fattening stuff. 974 in the Green

13th Week Goal Weight: 131.2 - I want to have lost at least a pound over 88 days!
13th Week Actual Weight: 136.4 - 1 dinner out really got me.
Calorie deficit totals: 4022 - enough to lose a pound

Day 89: Sun, 10/10: 137.4 - 1st day of Thanksgiving eating. I will try to cut the portions over the next 2. It took me 300 days to take off what I just put on, but whatever, really delicious foods. 509 in the Green
Day 90: Mon, 10/11: 137.0 - Lots more Turkey with all the trimmings to eat still. I will try to gets lots of activity in. 1387 in the Green
Day 91: Tues, 10/12: 136.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, 5 hours digging up potatoes on top of workouts and work Only a few rows left to do in the potato garden, if the snow flies I will at least have gotten most of them out. Portioning out my Thanksgiving leftovers still. 811 in the Green
Day 92: Wed, 10/13: 135.5 - A couple more days of Thanksgiving leftovers still, but they are all portioned out. Glad to see the scale moving back down after that one dinner out and feasting for Thanksgiving.
Day 93: Thurs, 10/14: 135.9 - Had restaurant food last night, this could spike me for a few days. Hoping not though. I had Daal Makhni, but no rice or appies.
Day 94: Fri, 10/15:
Day 95: Sat, 10/16:

Hopefully, knowing that, I will be able to do better on my eating. Today the well company comes back. Of course, it breaks down when they are NOT here, instead of when they are. This time, I hope they can figure out from the patterns what is going on. Praying it’s adjustments and not new pump or well. I am starving already (which happens after a day of eating with all caution to the wind). It won’t be easy, but I’ve got to be creative today and make it a good day.

************************************************************


Day 80 – 10/01 …..187.0……Oops. Typed my weight wrong yesterday. It was 186.2. Corrected now. Up again today after a full-on binge. It was ridiculous. May be traveling tomorrow too so that won’t help. I’ve got to make today count!
Day 81 – 10/02 …..185.0……Got back on track yesterday with carefully planned meals and snacks. I burned 2900 calories overall for the day with over 16,000 steps working outside painting and staining again. The work itself was not a big calorie burner, it was going up & down my slope of a yard into the house and back that really gave me the burn, the flights of stairs documented on fitbit and the steps. Today will be opposite. Lots of car sitting/driving. Restaurant meal(s). I will try to choose carefully remembering that whatever damage I do, I will have to work hard to get rid of in the upcoming week. Maybe that will help my choices as I look over the menu. Because of my eating issues, sometimes it is hard to find the right things, but I will be thoughtful.
Day 82 – 10/03 …..187.0……There’s the expected uptick. Now, to work it back down!
Day 83 – 10/04 …..187.2…… Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
Day 84 – 10/05 …..186.8…… I ended up eating into the red on my mfp log after I logged it out. An extra 410 calories but it was healthy small meal and I was hungry. My overall fitbit calorie expenditure minus my food stayed in the green and so I saw a small loss which is better than nothing! I will aim to spread my meals out better today. I ate too early yesterday, thus the nighttime hunger.
Day 85 – 10/06 …..184.6….. Finally my TMI body functions worked properly yesterday so it was reflected on the scale today. It’s nice to know where I really am without false inflated numbers from no TMI or from water retention after a high sodium choice. Not too bad. Now it’s time to think about getting closer to 180.
Day 86 – 10/07 …..184.8……A normal overnight fluctuation. I had a good day and plan on another one today. I’m down 10.4 pounds since the start of this round. I lost 12.4 in the last round (#8). I’m not going to say those are stellar performances because I know I could have done better so so so many times on choices. I also know that my exercise and movement has been INCREDIBLY stifled. But I am glad for the progress that I feel is very good considering my eating issues and my renovation (trapped inside at home) situations. Most of the time it feels like not much progress. It’s nice being able to look back at 100 days at a time and see that I’m doing something right.
Day 87 – 10/08 …..185.6……There is absolutely no reason for such an uptick. I am thinking my body is recompensating for some recent larger drops. I stayed in the green yesterday and did not even log all the extra activity that I did. I am going to try to follow how certain food choices are affecting me (even though they keep me in the green and with good macros). Not an easy thing to do when TMI is not regular and with water retention at times. But I just want to see a pattern of something that may be helping or hurting. I plan another good day today except rain is expected all day. Very cold and damp.
Day 88 – 10/09 …..184.0……Okay. It finally shows up in a more accurate range than that Godforsaken bump up yesterday without cause! I’m dreaming of 182 point anything. I hit it back on Sept 1st for a minute and a half. I’m sure it was not accurate. However, I like the way it digitally shined up at me from the scale. Reaching for those stars as it’s about halfway to hitting the 170’s. I just checked my stats. My lowest weight since 2006 (15 years ago) was 174 .6 which I hit three years ago in Oct 2018. Inching my way to the 170’s and getting there will really boost my morale.
Day 89 – 10/10 …..185.6……My daughter moved back in last night with my 3 year old grandson. Figuring out meals for me will be tough. She has already brought us Chinese food which I think caused water retention this morning. I was only over by around 100 yesterday after eating a yogurt. So I’m thinking the sodium. Either that or cortisol. This is stressful while so many are in the house on these reno projects too. I can barely walk through between drywall buckets, pain buckets, boxes of ceramic tile and toys. I’ll try to stay positive.
Day 90 – 10/11 …..185.6……(Trend weight 188.1)My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween candy for a party she had been planning. She has now had to cancel it due to her circumstances. I’m talking Reeses pumpkins, kit-kats, Hershey kisses galore, the whole 9 yards. Today I am going to carry the whole huge basket and bags upstairs to get it out of my face. My hips don’t need it and neither does my diabetes. I ate many pieces yesterday. I suspect it will show up on the scale sooner or later since I am babysitting now and can’t get out at all. I’ll need to make a plan. I adore my DGS but he is demanding and takes up every moment of my time. Lots to figure out here.
Day 91 – 10/12 …..185.6……(Trend weight 187.9) My daughter will be making goodie bags for the kids originally invited to her Halloween party she’s cancelled. She will hand deliver them. Anything leftover she will take to work. It was a nice and fruitful talk. Travel today. Dinner will be out so I expect an uptick tomorrow. I wish there had been a small change on the scale today because yesterday was an excellent day for me. However, all good things come to those who wait, so Do You Hear Me Universe? I’m Waiting…….
Day 92 – 10/13 …..187.0……(Trend weight 187.8) Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. I’ve got to try to offset today's travel uptick while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers (including one's family members who will sit at my kitchen table all day) expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning. BTW, the one who leaves latest is the one with the family. My dinner is often very late.

Day 93 – 10/14 …..186.2……(Trend weight 187.6) Travel weight oozing back out. Happy to see it. Downward trend going well too. My daughter made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight from scratch which is pretty cruel. I will have one piece and allow for it, but I will have to have her padlock me in at night as I stay up late and my bedroom is not far from the refrigerator for 2nds. Control……Not just now, ……for Life……
