100 DAYS OF WEIGHTING IN #13
Replies

I'm intentionally losing weight slowly, it's going to be about 2 years to get to goal weight (64 kg). Weight is in kilograms, did I eat sugary food, followed by how much I've overeaten above 6,000KJ per day since 1st August 2022, followed by my exercise on the treadmill (speed km/hr x minutes). Tracking intake and exercise will stop mid October 2022.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 1: Thurs, 8/18: 222.7 Walk 1.5 miles with granddaughter in stroller. DIL & I took turns swimming laps at the pool while the other played with my 7 month old granddaughter who loves the water. Down a little from the highs of our last round. Success especially after book club at a Mexican restaurant last night. The chips & salsa filled me up before the chicken verde enchiladas arrived. The win is that I didn't order any margaritas or wine AND I replaced the rice & beans with a side salad. Another choice I made is when ordering fast food for lunch is I got the grilled chicken sandwich without the bun ... still had the fries which I shared with the baby & dogs and brought out the watermelon from the fridge to round out the meal.

Needless to say I'm scared to actually step on the scale in October.
This morning I woke up early and decided if my jeans are going to fit this fall I need to get back to better habits and routines! I threw out my larger sizes last year LOL!!! I know I'm up at least 20-25 lbs from last fall where I was upset in Oct going from 201 -> 206 after a trip and seemed to slide ever since. I'm somewhere around 225-227 which is crazy stupid of me to let the pounds pile back on.
Today there are no excuses. It is a great week for me to get back on track. After taking my mom to the airport at noon ... I have absolutely no plans (well except volunteering teaching for 1.5 hrs on Tues & Thurs mornings).
SOoooo my plan is
1. Exercise every day of October (skipping only 1 day per week). This can be walking, biking, strength training, swimming!
2. Start drinking more water! The lunch time Diet Coke habit that slipped in needs to stop. The 3 cups of morning coffee is too much. The wine with dinner every night is not necessary.
3. Begin journalling my food intake ... today! It doesn't matter what the target is calorie or carb or fat ... I just need to get back into the habit.
4. Oh and where are those vitamins the doctors insist I need to take daily. No other meds at this time are required and I want to keep it like that health wise.
Day 48: Tues, 10/4: 226.3 Walked 1.25 miles. Started my habit tracking! Decent day. Need to work on water (32 of 80 oz), 10K steps since I only got 8K today. But I got out and walked, vitamins, and tracked my food (every bite 1797 cal). So I’ll call it a good day.
Day 49: Wed, 10/5: 225.7 Walked 1.3 miles, total 7400 steps. Better on the water 72 oz, vitamins and tracked all the food (1806 cal) … yep the chocolates too.
Doctors Advised: Calcium 1200 mg, D3 2000 IU, B12 2000mg, Zeaxanthin 6 mg, Lutein 6 mg,
Vitamins: Multivitamin One a Day Women’s 50+ (A 3500 IU, C 120 mg, D 1000 IU, Calcium 500mg, E 30 IU, K 20 mcg, Thuamin(B1) 4.5 mg, Riboflavin (B2) 3.4 mg), B12, D3, Lutein & Zeaxathin combo which is an eye vitamin. Need to be taking more calcium because I’m not getting the minimum the doc requested.
Day 50: Thurs, 10/6: 225.8 Walked 4 miles, biked 15 min, total 14020 steps. 64 oz water, vitamins, tracked all the food again! (1957 cal)
Day 51: Fri, 10/7: 224.3 Walked to and from ESL volunteer teaching instead of driving … it is only .5 mile each way but I did it! First time this year breaking the lazy habit of jumping into the car to go everywhere. Also caught up my Happy Scale daily weigh in logs so that I can monitor the trends again. Check off tracking food (1667 cal) and vitamins. Really poor on water 48oz, steps (7000+). Making some progress and need to not get impatient.
Day 52: Sat, 10/8: 224.6 Strength Training 1 hr, walked to the library to pick up a book instead of driving the car 2.2 miles. Total steps for the day 9400. Completed tracking food and took my vitamins. Finally got lots of water! (88oz). Dinner out with friends to Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen. Of course I had the chicken enchilada verde but traded the rice & beans for a side salad.
8th Week Actual Weight: 224.6
Day 53: Sun: 10/9: 225.1 No exercise and lacked water while eating lots of food but keeping portions small and no snacking because I was too busy socializing and driving across Houston multiple times (total 3-4 hrs in the car). I did track all the food (1588 cal) & took vitamins. LSU game & son’s 32nd birthday party for lunch with red beans, sausage, rice, corn bread, and carrot cake ... stuffed! Then pizza for dinner while babysitting my 3 month old granddaughter. Terrible eating day and no time for exercise. Today will be better!
Day 54: Mon, 10/10: 225.9 No exercise. Chose to shop with my sister instead. Then I gave in with desserts, wine, etc at dinner at her house. Terrible healthy habits day (2022 cal, 40oz water, 3744 steps). I can check off vitamins only.
Day 55: Tues, 10/11: 225.6 Walked 2.8 miles, so so day on exercise and terrible eating day fried chicken lunch and red beans & sausage w/rice for dinner… lacking healthy green veggies (1910 cal, 48oz water, tracked all food, vitamins).
Day 56: Wed, 10/12: 226.3 Walked 1 mile for ESL class. Lost track of my food journal, water, didn’t take vitamin, etc etc.
Day 57: Thurs, 10/13: 226.2 @ 3:30am; 225.5 @ 6:30am Slipped up and didn’t do much of anything … broke those darn good habits hanging out with my sister today at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MAFA), shopping, etc. Did take my vitamin!
Day 58: Fri, 10/14: 224.9 Strength Training Class, took my vitamin and drank lots of water. Other than that I didn’t hit any of my healthy habit goals. Made really cute Rice Krispie Treats for the church bazaar this weekend. Put them in individual ziplocks so that I don’t eat them! LOL
Day 59: Sat, 10/15: 226.7 No exercise and lots of food. Only got my vitamin habit in for the day. Think Pink (breast cancer) fundraiser luncheon and after all the free flowing prosecco during the 3 hr event I didn’t get anything done in the afternoon.
9th Week Goal Weight: No goal weight! JUST DO IT! Step on the scale and try each day to create better habits!
9th Week Actual Weight:
Day 60: Sun, 10/16: 227..6 Walked 1 mile.
Day 61: Mon, 10/17: 226.5 Walked 3.5 miles.
Day 62: Tues, 10/18: 226.6 Walked .8 miles. Off track and not paying attention or rather just threw up my hands and ate both pasta and 2 pieces of garlic bread with my salmon & spinach last night. Need to reset yet again.

@deepwoodslady
That is great news about making other choices when you go to restaurants. Different restaurants or different menu items.
I have never had much luck with restaurants. I remember a time when I went to meet some friends for lunch, I had a tossed salad topped with a grilled chicken breast and was up 3 pounds the next day! Salt and sugar in everything at restaurants. I might as well have had greasy KFC lol.
@Lilylady3k
Sorry that you are struggling with your weight gain. This really is not easy at all.
Hopefully those new clothes that you bought (you threw out the bigger sizes?) are still fitting. Mine from 10 pounds ago do not do up any more. Luckily I did not throw out the next size up, otherwise I would have nothing to wear. Stretchy stuff is good too : - )
The struggle is real. Intention is good, healthy habits are good, being too restrictive is not good.
A couple of bites of the yummy stuff instead of a whole plate of it? Reducing portion size is easier said than done, but logging it on here does help with that I find.
Well, we are all here to lose weight right?2 -
I am Dawn.
5'2", 62
I live in SE BC Canada
This will be my 11th round on this forum out of 13 of them.
I have gained weight in 4 out of the last 5 100s
I enjoy being on this journey with y'all. Weight loss requires a lot of work! We are worth it though.
I aim to have an average of 500 calories in the Green each day, so I track my excess. I get in a good deal of activity and dance workouts. Like, if you had to pick a body type that you wanted to have, you do that sort of activity I think. Dance for me unlocks my creaky joints, lifts my spirits, stretches me out, works all of the muscles and is super fun. I do the 3-4 minute song variety, it keeps me up with what the "kids" are listening to : - )

9th Week Goal Weight: 136.8
9th Week Actual Weight: 137.6

Day 60: Sun, 10/16: 139.0 - Back to weekday style eating tonight, but at a reasonable hour. Expecting a better number tomorrow.
Day 61: Mon, 10/17: 141.6 - Egads. I don't get it. Very long day digging in the yard yesterday. I am trying to get certain stuff in before the deep freeze starting next weekend. One more pepper/onion bed to harvest before that. I am working out of town today and then 3 split shifts in a row after that with my Foster Grant jobs before and during my breaks, so running out of town for the garden. The root vegetables should be good. I don't like to pull the beets until I am ready to peel and process them or the skins get too soft to peel after a day or two.
Day 62: Tues, 10/18: 139.8 - Going into 3 very long workdays with late dinners. I felt like last week my body was kind of getting used to that. It will have to, since my schedule is going to be like this going forward. Yesterday's weight scared me, it could have been from something that I ate (drank)on Friday catching up to me on Monday? I am back to healthy choices, but weigh more now than when I was in Mexico!!

Excess calories burned (in the green):
Start weight this 100: 137.7 (136.0 start weight the previous 100)
Goal weight this 100: 127.7 - Very unrealistic, especially since I will be in Mexico for a good chunk of September and I am going to eat all of the yummy foods and drink a few Margaritas/Cervezas for sure. The most that I have ever lost in the 100 day challenge was 7 pounds once. In the 7 100s in which I actually lost weight it was more like 2-3 pounds loss over 100 days.2 -

Day 62-10/18-200.2-(Trend weight 200.2) Under calorie which is reflected on the scale. However, I am not proud of my food choices. Too many carbs! Too much “junk foods” even for meals and not enough healthy stuff. I usually make much better choices at home. I’ll work on that today. On another note, I would like to remind everyone that this is breast cancer awareness month. Please don’t forget to do a very good self-check and schedule your mammogram. It saves lives and your life is important! I hope you will also remind all the men in your lives to get their prostate screening.

I'm intentionally losing weight slowly, it's going to be about 2 years to get to goal weight (64 kg). Weight is in kilograms, did I eat sugary food, followed by how much I've overeaten above 6,000KJ per day since 1st August 2022, followed by my exercise on the treadmill (speed km/hr x minutes). Tracking intake and exercise will stop mid October 2022.

Curious as to which healthy foods you eat. I know that there are some things that you have an aversion to, but what is on your list that you incorporate in your healthy meals?1 -
I am Dawn.
5'2", 62
I live in SE BC Canada
This will be my 11th round on this forum out of 13 of them.
I have gained weight in 4 out of the last 5 100s
I enjoy being on this journey with y'all. Weight loss requires a lot of work! We are worth it though.
I aim to have an average of 500 calories in the Green each day, so I track my excess. I get in a good deal of activity and dance workouts. Like, if you had to pick a body type that you wanted to have, you do that sort of activity I think. Dance for me unlocks my creaky joints, lifts my spirits, stretches me out, works all of the muscles and is super fun. I do the 3-4 minute song variety, it keeps me up with what the "kids" are listening to : - )
1st Week Goal Weight: 137.5
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8 Started at 137.7,
Excess calories burned (in the green): 2548, /4 = 637 average
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.9 (ambitious I know, but my trip will be coming up)
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 139.6
Excess calories burned (in the green): 2342, burned lots, but ate more. Missed my 500, average = 334.5
3rd Week Goal Weight: 137 until I hit it
3rd Week Actual Weight: 140.1
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4210, average of 588.57 over 7 days
4th Week Goal Weight: 136
4th Week Actual Weight: 139.5, started the week at 140.9
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4066 - 580.85 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: I will be in Mexico, but lets say 136
5th Week Actual Weight: 138.2?? I forget. Flew out Tuesday September 13th to vacay
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4003, 571.85 average over 7 days
6th Week Goal Weight - Didn't really have one.
6th Week Gain/Loss - Don't know really, I missed that first day of our week - Ended at 138.4
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4924 = 703.43 average over 7 days (hills in every direction in Zhihua)
7th Week Goal Weight: Didn't have one.
7th Week Actual Weight: 141.6 - Body is not functioning right with the Mexico sickness after effect.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 1294 - dismal, but ... Rib day put me far into the red
8th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 (start weight of this 100 since we are passing the 1/2 way point)
8th Week Actual Weight: 138.2 - dipped slightly below my start weight one day
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3778, average over 7 days 539.7
9th Week Goal Weight: 136.8
9th Week Actual Weight: 137.6
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3965 = 566.4 average over 7 days
Day 60: Sun, 10/16: 139.0 - Back to weekday style eating tonight, but at a reasonable hour. Expecting a better number tomorrow.
Day 61: Mon, 10/17: 141.6 - Egads. I don't get it. Very long day digging in the yard yesterday. I am trying to get certain stuff in before the deep freeze starting next weekend. One more pepper/onion bed to harvest before that. I am working out of town today and then 3 split shifts in a row after that with my Foster Grant jobs before and during my breaks, so running out of town for the garden. The root vegetables should be good. I don't like to pull the beets until I am ready to peel and process them or the skins get too soft to peel after a day or two.
Day 62: Tues, 10/18: 139.8 - Going into 3 4 very long workdays with late dinners. I felt like last week my body was kind of getting used to that. It will have to, since my schedule is going to be like this going forward. Yesterday's weight scared me, it could have been from something that I ate (drank)on Friday catching up to me on Monday? I am back to healthy choices, but weigh more now than when I was in Mexico!!
Day 63: Wed, 10/19: 138.6 - Another restaurant shift got added for me, plus I am so busy with Foster Grant this month and the garden has to get harvested. Too tired! Glad to see that at least my weight went down a bit this morning : - )
Day 64: Thurs, 10/20:
Day 65: Fri, 10/21:
Day 66: Sat, 10/22:
10th Week Goal Weight: 136.0
10th Week Actual Weight:
Excess calories burned (in the green):
Start weight this 100: 137.7 (136.0 start weight the previous 100)
Goal weight this 100: 127.7 - Very unrealistic, especially since I will be in Mexico for a good chunk of September and I am going to eat all of the yummy foods and drink a few Margaritas/Cervezas for sure. The most that I have ever lost in the 100 day challenge was 7 pounds once. In the 7 100s in which I actually lost weight it was more like 2-3 pounds loss over 100 days.2 -

@dawnbgethealthy Just a few examples. When I'm not too lazy, I use cauliflower rice instead of real rice (so much better for my diabetes too!). I have learned to eat zucchini. I use it as a side or make zucchini boats. I don't eat green, that's for sure, but sometimes I will add a bit of spinach leafs to my omelet. I don't like biting into fruit but I can eat applesauce when I have sweet cravings. When I'm a good girl, I skip the flavored ones and eat the sugar free ones. I love the yogurt that is tasty and yummy, but my better choice is the lowfat lower calorie ones. Especially the type that has 0 or very low grams of sugar. Sugar free jello is a very good snack for me. It can replace my ice cream too tho there is no real nutritional value in it. Another cheat I do is use the Tyson air fried chicken nuggets. I really need to stick to unprocessed real chicken breast. Not having my kitchen is really making this tough, but I do have a very messy stove now (it is smack dab in the middle of a war zone). I've really got to get back in the habit of cooking more.0 -

Day 61-10/17-200.6-(Trend weight 200.2)
Day 62-10/18-200.2-(Trend weight 200.2) Under calorie which is reflected on the scale. However, I am not proud of my food choices. Too many carbs! Too much “junk foods” even for meals and not enough healthy stuff. I usually make much better choices at home. I’ll work on that today. On another note, I would like to remind everyone that this is breast cancer awareness month. Please don’t forget to do a very good self-check and schedule your mammogram. It saves lives and your life is important! I hope you will also remind all the men in your lives to get their prostate screening.
Day 63-10/19-200.2-(Trend weight 200.2) Exactly the same. Probably because I did all the same right things, and all the same wrong things. Hair appt today. There will be plenty of sitting and lack of activity. I’ll try to make up for it on the exercise bike tonight for a bit. Can’t do much though until I go through the cardiac rehab. Waiting for insurance approval. Day 3 of snow here in my little neck of the woods.

I'm intentionally losing weight slowly, it's going to be about 2 years to get to goal weight (64 kg). Weight is in kilograms, did I eat sugary food, followed by how much I've overeaten above 6,000KJ per day since 1st August 2022, followed by my exercise on the treadmill (speed km/hr x minutes). Tracking intake and exercise will stop mid October 2022.
Day 01 18-Aug 88.4, sugar, 11,500 excess food, treadmill 5.2x12, 4.0x33
Day 02 19-Aug 88.1 new low, sugar, 10,500 excess food, treadmill 5.2x13, 4.0x32

I'm allowed to have "celebration meals" but again too often isn't useful.

Curious as to which healthy foods you eat. I know that there are some things that you have an aversion to, but what is on your list that you incorporate in your healthy meals?
@dawnbgethealthy Just a few examples. When I'm not too lazy, I use cauliflower rice instead of real rice (so much better for my diabetes too!). I have learned to eat zucchini. I use it as a side or make zucchini boats. I don't eat green, that's for sure, but sometimes I will add a bit of spinach leafs to my omelet. I don't like biting into fruit but I can eat applesauce when I have sweet cravings. When I'm a good girl, I skip the flavored ones and eat the sugar free ones. I love the yogurt that is tasty and yummy, but my better choice is the lowfat lower calorie ones. Especially the type that has 0 or very low grams of sugar. Sugar free jello is a very good snack for me. It can replace my ice cream too tho there is no real nutritional value in it. Another cheat I do is use the Tyson air fried chicken nuggets. I really need to stick to unprocessed real chicken breast. Not having my kitchen is really making this tough, but I do have a very messy stove now (it is smack dab in the middle of a war zone). I've really got to get back in the habit of cooking more.
I got into the riced cauliflower for awhile too. At first I tried making my own, but it was such a mess lol. I found some good packaged frozen kinds at Safeway. Since I have been back (and during) Mexico I have been eating 1/2 cup of rice each day to restore my gut.
I was flipping through a magazine at the checkout last night that was about anti-inflammatory foods. Basically, fermented foods (which I don't like) and yoghurt (of which I am not a big fan).
I eat sugar free jello almost every day, strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. I started adding a few tablespoons 95% fat free Cool Whip to that. Yeah, probably no nutritional value, but that snack lasts me through a whole 1/2 hour show of HGTV. It is the last thing I eat almost every night.
I am intrigued by the Tyson air fried. I don't think that we have them here in Canada yet, but I have seen them advertised.
Donna, if left to my own devices I would just eat snacks all of the time (which I measure or count out).
I am a picky eater.
I love all spices and flavours.
I eat only pork, chicken, or beef, no other meats like lamb or fish.
I go on cycles where I am trying to incorporate more beans into my day, like 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup added to something. Fibre is what I am after there and I am not offended by beans like I am to some other foods.
I overdosed on Zucchini years ago when I was growing it.
Do you eat potatoes? I am working on harvesting mine and am inspired by Pakora that is made from them at the Indian restaurant that I work at. They are dredged in chick pea flour, which gives them such an interesting flavour. I will have to get my hands on some of that flour and try to make something like that myself. I do make potato curries with my own veggies, ground beef, and chick peas. Do you like chick peas?
So you don't eat strawberries or blueberries? I am not much for fruit other than berries or cherries. I added a banana per day a couple of years ago when I was experiencing leg cramps in the night. It really helped.
Nice choices by you.

I am Dawn.
5'2", 62
I live in SE BC Canada
This will be my 11th round on this forum out of 13 of them.
I have gained weight in 4 out of the last 5 100s
I enjoy being on this journey with y'all. Weight loss requires a lot of work! We are worth it though.
I aim to have an average of 500 calories in the Green each day, so I track my excess. I get in a good deal of activity and dance workouts. Like, if you had to pick a body type that you wanted to have, you do that sort of activity I think. Dance for me unlocks my creaky joints, lifts my spirits, stretches me out, works all of the muscles and is super fun. I do the 3-4 minute song variety, it keeps me up with what the "kids" are listening to : - )
1st Week Goal Weight: 137.5
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8 Started at 137.7,

7th Week Actual Weight: 141.6 - Body is not functioning right with the Mexico sickness after effect.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 1294 - dismal, but ... Rib day put me far into the red
8th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 (start weight of this 100 since we are passing the 1/2 way point)
8th Week Actual Weight: 138.2 - dipped slightly below my start weight one day
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3778, average over 7 days 539.7
9th Week Goal Weight: 136.8
9th Week Actual Weight: 137.6
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3965 = 566.4 average over 7 days
Day 60: Sun, 10/16: 139.0 - Back to weekday style eating tonight, but at a reasonable hour. Expecting a better number tomorrow.
Day 61: Mon, 10/17: 141.6 - Egads. I don't get it. Very long day digging in the yard yesterday. I am trying to get certain stuff in before the deep freeze starting next weekend. One more pepper/onion bed to harvest before that. I am working out of town today and then 3 split shifts in a row after that with my Foster Grant jobs before and during my breaks, so running out of town for the garden. The root vegetables should be good. I don't like to pull the beets until I am ready to peel and process them or the skins get too soft to peel after a day or two.
Day 62: Tues, 10/18: 139.8 - Going into 3 4 very long workdays with late dinners. I felt like last week my body was kind of getting used to that. It will have to, since my schedule is going to be like this going forward. Yesterday's weight scared me, it could have been from something that I ate (drank)on Friday catching up to me on Monday? I am back to healthy choices, but weigh more now than when I was in Mexico!!
Day 63: Wed, 10/19: 138.6 - Another restaurant shift got added for me, plus I am so busy with Foster Grant this month and the garden has to get harvested. Too tired! Glad to see that at least my weight went down a bit this morning : - )
Day 64: Thurs, 10/20: 137.8 - I was ravenously hungry yesterday, but no time to eat. I had prepped a nice healthy dinner early in the morning, but by the time that I finally got home I think that I was just too tired. I ate snacks only and had 2 black russians. I will have that dinner tonight - honey garlic pork cubes cooked in the toaster oven with my own potatoes, 1/2 cup rice topped with tzatziki, my own raw red onions and bell peppers and brussels sprouts with 1/2 fat mayo.
Day 65: Fri, 10/21:
Day 66: Sat, 10/22:
10th Week Goal Weight: 136.0
10th Week Actual Weight:
Excess calories burned (in the green):
Start weight this 100: 137.7 (136.0 start weight the previous 100)
Goal weight this 100: 127.7 - Very unrealistic, especially since I will be in Mexico for a good chunk of September and I am going to eat all of the yummy foods and drink a few Margaritas/Cervezas for sure. The most that I have ever lost in the 100 day challenge was 7 pounds once. In the 7 100s in which I actually lost weight it was more like 2-3 pounds loss over 100 days.2 -

Curious as to which healthy foods you eat. I know that there are some things that you have an aversion to, but what is on your list that you incorporate in your healthy meals?
@dawnbgethealthy Just a few examples. When I'm not too lazy, I use cauliflower rice instead of real rice (so much better for my diabetes too!). I have learned to eat zucchini. I use it as a side or make zucchini boats. I don't eat green, that's for sure, but sometimes I will add a bit of spinach leafs to my omelet. I don't like biting into fruit but I can eat applesauce when I have sweet cravings. When I'm a good girl, I skip the flavored ones and eat the sugar free ones. I love the yogurt that is tasty and yummy, but my better choice is the lowfat lower calorie ones. Especially the type that has 0 or very low grams of sugar. Sugar free jello is a very good snack for me. It can replace my ice cream too tho there is no real nutritional value in it. Another cheat I do is use the Tyson air fried chicken nuggets. I really need to stick to unprocessed real chicken breast. Not having my kitchen is really making this tough, but I do have a very messy stove now (it is smack dab in the middle of a war zone). I've really got to get back in the habit of cooking more.
I got into the riced cauliflower for awhile too. At first I tried making my own, but it was such a mess lol. I found some good packaged frozen kinds at Safeway. Since I have been back (and during) Mexico I have been eating 1/2 cup of rice each day to restore my gut.
I was flipping through a magazine at the checkout last night that was about anti-inflammatory foods. Basically, fermented foods (which I don't like) and yoghurt (of which I am not a big fan).
I eat sugar free jello almost every day, strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. I started adding a few tablespoons 95% fat free Cool Whip to that. Yeah, probably no nutritional value, but that snack lasts me through a whole 1/2 hour show of HGTV. It is the last thing I eat almost every night.
I am intrigued by the Tyson air fried. I don't think that we have them here in Canada yet, but I have seen them advertised.
Donna, if left to my own devices I would just eat snacks all of the time (which I measure or count out).
I am a picky eater.
I love all spices and flavours.
I eat only pork, chicken, or beef, no other meats like lamb or fish.
I go on cycles where I am trying to incorporate more beans into my day, like 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup added to something. Fibre is what I am after there and I am not offended by beans like I am to some other foods.
I overdosed on Zucchini years ago when I was growing it.
Do you eat potatoes? I am working on harvesting mine and am inspired by Pakora that is made from them at the Indian restaurant that I work at. They are dredged in chick pea flour, which gives them such an interesting flavour. I will have to get my hands on some of that flour and try to make something like that myself. I do make potato curries with my own veggies, ground beef, and chick peas. Do you like chick peas?
So you don't eat strawberries or blueberries? I am not much for fruit other than berries or cherries. I added a banana per day a couple of years ago when I was experiencing leg cramps in the night. It really helped.
Nice choices by you.
@dawnbgethealthy I don't like chickpeas or even beans but I can eat almost any bean if it's "in something" and the flavor or texture is deflected by the flavors around it (such as in chili). I do like refried beans when I eat mexican. These days I mainly buy my riced cauliflower too, especially now that the prices have come down or the stores have their own cheaper brands of it. But I still have my ricer machine! I lost all my bags of cauliflower rice recently when my freezer went down for a bit, but I've repurchased a few bags and will be using some of it tonight for my dinner my daughter is bringing. I've also learned to eat avocados but I have to be in the mood because it's not my favorite but it's smooth (like the refried beans) enough for me. I need to find a good recipe for guac because I would eat avocado more often for sure. I am really trying to watch the carbs because of my glucose levels. I'm trying to substitute lower carb things when I have a good choice to do so. Lower carb bread, lower carb lactose free milk, the cauli rice etc. etc. It is not super low carb, but making some changes is a good start to healthier blood levels and weight. I just need to be more consistent.0 -

This is my first time doing any kind of challenge. I am back on MFP for the umpteenth time, but this time (hopefully) going all in: be consistent with logging into MFP and exercise at least 4x/week.
Challenge Starting Weight: 144 (8/18)

Day 64: Thurs, 10/20: 141.9 - I’m back. Really struggled with eating well, putting in time to exercise and logging into MFP since returning from vacation on 09/12, plus I took another short trip a couple of weeks after that. This is typical Teri behavior: I start off well, but once I veer off path I can’t seem to get back on. It’s something I really need to work on. I admire the consistency of others. Now to catch up on reading to find out what everyone in this group has been up to in the past month! Glad to be back!3 -
@dawnbgethealthy
Loved your photos! What a beautiful place! I’m so sorry you had to endure unpleasant issues toward the end there. Glad you’re feeling better.
@Lilylady3k
I can relate to your plan for October. I had to have a plan laid out (menu/meal prep as well as exercise schedule) in order to get back on track, which I veered off of since Sep 1st when I left for vacation. I always struggle getting back on the wagon. I see my vitamins of choice are similar to yours: Calcium, Women’s One a Day 50+, & Vitamin D. I also take a probiotic. We can do this!3 -
Thanks for the anniversary wishes @deepwoodslady ... so appreciate it!

I'm intentionally losing weight slowly, it's going to be about 2 years to get to goal weight (64 kg). Weight is in kilograms, did I eat sugary food, followed by how much I've overeaten above 6,000KJ per day since 1st August 2022, followed by my exercise on the treadmill (speed km/hr x minutes). Tracking intake and exercise will stop mid October 2022.
Day 01 18-Aug 88.4, sugar, 11,500 excess food, treadmill 5.2x12, 4.0x33
Day 02 19-Aug 88.1 new low, sugar, 10,500 excess food, treadmill 5.2x13, 4.0x32
Day 03 20-Aug 87.6 new low, sugar, 9,500 excess food, treadmill 5.2x14, 4.0x31
Day 04 21-Aug 87.2 new low, sugar, 9,000 excess food, treadmill 5.2x15, 4.0x30

I'm allowed to have "celebration meals" but again too often isn't useful.

@deepwoodslady
You have your own ricer. Very fancy Donna : - )
Oh guacamole. I have had lots in my life over time, even in Mexico twice before this 3rd trip to Mexico. Something about the food in the south there, more Yucatan influenced?
Anyway, that is the very best Guac that I have ever had. Unbelievable.
It is not something that I normally eat because it is high in calories, but I sure had it lots while down there from several different restaurants. Totally worth cutting back on something else to make room for those calories.
I have no idea what they do different. It was good in Bucerias too, but nothing like this one. Maybe the avocados and other ingredients are grown very close to there? No idea.
I had almost forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Food delight.
Good job on finding things to lower your carbs. Fruit is full of carbs and sugar (except for berries) so you are ahead of the game on that front.
I imagine that you are having the red curry for your Thai choice. We don't have any Thai around here, but I grew up in Toronto where we had lots. I like anything with peanut sauce, Gado Gado, Pad Thai, Cold spring rolls etc. Lots of good Thai tofu and chicken choices with Thai. I do make my own version of the noodles with peanut sauce. I use the powdered peanut butter which has 1/10th of the calories, and I use either Kanjac (5 calories for a giant plate of it) bean sprouts, or chow mein noodles (220 calories for just a bit) and then I add like green onion, cilantro and stuff.
I haven't had that in quite awhile, I will have to make it soon : - )
Talking about food is fun : - )

@bteri107
Glad that you are back with us : - )
Yeah, good strategy. Sometimes I will fill in one or two meals into MFP for several days when I know what I am planning to eat. I have some beautiful bell peppers harvested, so I take one to work with some hummus and have been just "copy to date" with that as a lunch.
Also, pre-logging lets me know how many calories I have left over for other stuff.
I knew about your Alaska cruise, where did you go for your other mini vacay?
Haha, just back to ho-hum paradise for you now
@ashleycarole86
What did you do for your anniversary?1 -
I am Dawn.
5'2", 62
I live in SE BC Canada
This will be my 11th round on this forum out of 13 of them.
I have gained weight in 4 out of the last 5 100s
I enjoy being on this journey with y'all. Weight loss requires a lot of work! We are worth it though.
I aim to have an average of 500 calories in the Green each day, so I track my excess. I get in a good deal of activity and dance workouts. Like, if you had to pick a body type that you wanted to have, you do that sort of activity I think. Dance for me unlocks my creaky joints, lifts my spirits, stretches me out, works all of the muscles and is super fun. I do the 3-4 minute song variety, it keeps me up with what the "kids" are listening to : - )
1st Week Goal Weight: 137.5
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8 Started at 137.7,
Excess calories burned (in the green): 2548, /4 = 637 average
2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.9 (ambitious I know, but my trip will be coming up)
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 139.6
Excess calories burned (in the green): 2342, burned lots, but ate more. Missed my 500, average = 334.5
3rd Week Goal Weight: 137 until I hit it
3rd Week Actual Weight: 140.1
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4210, average of 588.57 over 7 days
4th Week Goal Weight: 136
4th Week Actual Weight: 139.5, started the week at 140.9
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4066 - 580.85 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: I will be in Mexico, but lets say 136
5th Week Actual Weight: 138.2?? I forget. Flew out Tuesday September 13th to vacay
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4003, 571.85 average over 7 days
6th Week Goal Weight - Didn't really have one.
6th Week Gain/Loss - Don't know really, I missed that first day of our week - Ended at 138.4
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4924 = 703.43 average over 7 days (hills in every direction in Zhihua)
7th Week Goal Weight: Didn't have one.
7th Week Actual Weight: 141.6 - Body is not functioning right with the Mexico sickness after effect.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 1294 - dismal, but ... Rib day put me far into the red
8th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 (start weight of this 100 since we are passing the 1/2 way point)
8th Week Actual Weight: 138.2 - dipped slightly below my start weight one day
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3778, average over 7 days 539.7
9th Week Goal Weight: 136.8
9th Week Actual Weight: 137.6
Excess calories burned (in the green): 3965 = 566.4 average over 7 days
Day 60: Sun, 10/16: 139.0 - Back to weekday style eating tonight, but at a reasonable hour. Expecting a better number tomorrow.
Day 61: Mon, 10/17: 141.6 - Egads. I don't get it. Very long day digging in the yard yesterday. I am trying to get certain stuff in before the deep freeze starting next weekend. One more pepper/onion bed to harvest before that. I am working out of town today and then 3 split shifts in a row after that with my Foster Grant jobs before and during my breaks, so running out of town for the garden. The root vegetables should be good. I don't like to pull the beets until I am ready to peel and process them or the skins get too soft to peel after a day or two.
Day 62: Tues, 10/18: 139.8 - Going into 3 4 very long workdays with late dinners. I felt like last week my body was kind of getting used to that. It will have to, since my schedule is going to be like this going forward. Yesterday's weight scared me, it could have been from something that I ate (drank)on Friday catching up to me on Monday? I am back to healthy choices, but weigh more now than when I was in Mexico!!
Day 63: Wed, 10/19: 138.6 - Another restaurant shift got added for me, plus I am so busy with Foster Grant this month and the garden has to get harvested. Too tired! Glad to see that at least my weight went down a bit this morning : - )
Day 64: Thurs, 10/20: 137.8 - I was ravenously hungry yesterday, but no time to eat. I had prepped a nice healthy dinner early in the morning, but by the time that I finally got home I think that I was just too tired. I ate snacks only and had 2 black russians. I will have that dinner tonight - honey garlic pork cubes cooked in the toaster oven with my own potatoes, 1/2 cup rice topped with tzatziki, my own raw red onions and bell peppers and brussels sprouts with 1/2 fat mayo.
Day 65: Fri, 10/21: 138.8 - Up a pound from yesterday, very late dinner and up way too early in the morning, I don't think that it is a true gain. Having said that, I loosen it up on the weekends and TGIF, just one more very long workday today.
Day 66: Sat, 10/22:
10th Week Goal Weight: 136.0
10th Week Actual Weight:
Excess calories burned (in the green):
Start weight this 100: 137.7 (136.0 start weight the previous 100)
Goal weight this 100: 127.7 - Very unrealistic, especially since I will be in Mexico for a good chunk of September and I am going to eat all of the yummy foods and drink a few Margaritas/Cervezas for sure. The most that I have ever lost in the 100 day challenge was 7 pounds once. In the 7 100s in which I actually lost weight it was more like 2-3 pounds loss over 100 days.2 -
R#12 End Weight: 165.1

@dawnbgethealthy I forgot to answer your question about potatoes. I love them but don't eat them often because of how they raise my glucose levels. I have eaten Kanjac (especially when I was on Keto diet) but it is hard to get past the stinky smell, even when rinsed. My daughter brings the Thai in from another city when she goes out of town. I love the red curry with chicken. I only eat half the dinner so today will be the rest of it. The cauli rice smells bad too but not nearly as bad as the Kanjac to me. I can't taste it with all the Thai slop on top. Yummy! I did really well yesterday until she broke out the gourmet mini cheesecake bites she also picked up. Oops.1
