100 DAYS OF WEIGHTING IN #13

I knew it was bad and I'm guessing that is why I stopped daily posting to Happy Scale app because I just didn't want to face the music. But I caught up from April to current and this is the BIG PICTURE! It looks like a V but I'm not going to let it reach the tippy top again. This week the trend will turn around.
Lost momentum in Oct 2021 when I left on a 2 week roadtrip and never got back into the groove. The amount of pounds I regained broken down by month. I WILL NOT start 2023 higher than 2022 which means I need to get below 209 ASAP.

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 7K 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 13,900 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:
8th Week Goal Weight: No goal weight! JUST DO IT! Step on the scale and try each day to create better habits!

I am Dawn.
5'2", 62 (no blue eyes, but it still rhymes, so coochie coochie coo if anyone knows that song)
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
Day 46: Sun: 10/2: 141.4 - Had a good healthy dinner, chicken breast, 2 veggies, 1/2 cup of rice, 1/4 tbsp of butter, 2tbsp mayo (for my brussels sprouts). Had an hour out on a nice trail (4 times around)
Day 47: Mon, 10/3: 140.8 - First day back to work, and it will be a very long day. Dinner is prepped, but it will be very late.
Day 48: Tues, 10/4: 140.4 - Trying to eat as much as possible to get my health back. Not getting on here every day to post, but tracking everything and weighing.
Day 49: Wed, 10/5: 139.4 - This is the only forum that I am taking a few minutes for, I am too tight for time since getting back from holiday, with work. I will get to the garden on the weekend. Garlic planting needs to be done : - )
Day 50: Thurs, 10/6: 138.2 - So busy at work for the next couple of weeks, couldn't find the time to post, so a day late on this. Halfway mark, up 0.5 pounds : - (
Day 51: Fri, 10/7: 137.6 - I had over 20,000 steps from working yesterday. Another long day today and tonight, and then days off where I will be burning those calories in my yard instead : - ) Getting just a small dance workout in the mornings to prep my body for the long days. $$ is a good thing to be making after 3 weeks off.
Day 52: Sat, 10/8:
8th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 (start weight of this 100 since we are passing the 1/2 way point)
8th 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.3 -
Thank you, @Miyoka_Tata !
72 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

100 Days of Accountability 8/18-11/25
I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.
Female, Age 61, 5’3”
Challenge Starting Weight: 223.3 (8/17)
Challenge Goal: <200History & GoalsDay 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.
Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
* Into the teens again: <220
* Less than I started this year 2022: <209
* Prior to Oct 2021 roadtrip damage: <206
* Onederland: 199
* Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
* 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195
My goal for 2022 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/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 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 Goal Weight: No goal weight! JUST DO IT! Step on the scale and try each day to create better habits!
8th Week Actual Weight: 224.6
It's a start! The better habits and routine are starting to help me feel more active and like I'm doing something for me.3 -

Day 51-10/07-199.2-(Trend weight 199.4) Back in Onederland. It’s amazing how much better I do without the travel. Especially when I keep my home a safe zone. I am still grabbing fast “convenience foods” because of the lack of kitchen and the workers here, but I am trying to keep good grab choices available. I’ve just got to keep trying to lower the carbs. My glucose has not been good, even when I’ve had a “good day” on the scale or with my calories.
Day 52-10/08-198.4-(Trend weight 199.3) I’m happy to see it going back down but very worried about the upcoming week. I have 3 days of travel, Sunday, Wed and Thur and that never helps my cause. I need to watch those calories but I’ve got to keep a mindful eye on those carbs too. I also need to fit in a little movement, even on the travel days because that really hurts my bottom line when it’s a day full of mostly sitting.

I am Dawn.
5'2", 62 (no blue eyes, but it still rhymes, so coochie coochie coo if anyone knows that song)
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
Day 46: Sun: 10/2: 141.4 - Had a good healthy dinner, chicken breast, 2 veggies, 1/2 cup of rice, 1/4 tbsp of butter, 2tbsp mayo (for my brussels sprouts). Had an hour out on a nice trail (4 times around)
Day 47: Mon, 10/3: 140.8 - First day back to work, and it will be a very long day. Dinner is prepped, but it will be very late.
Day 48: Tues, 10/4: 140.4 - Trying to eat as much as possible to get my health back. Not getting on here every day to post, but tracking everything and weighing.
Day 49: Wed, 10/5: 139.4 - This is the only forum that I am taking a few minutes for, I am too tight for time since getting back from holiday, with work. I will get to the garden on the weekend. Garlic planting needs to be done : - )
Day 50: Thurs, 10/6: 138.2 - So busy at work for the next couple of weeks, couldn't find the time to post, so a day late on this. Halfway mark, up 0.5 pounds : - (
Day 51: Fri, 10/7: 137.6 - I had over 20,000 steps from working yesterday. Another long day today and tonight, and then days off where I will be burning those calories in my yard instead : - ) Getting just a small dance workout in the mornings to prep my body for the long days. $$ is a good thing to be making after 3 weeks off.
Day 52: Sat, 10/8: 138.2 - I was soooo tired yesterday, the last workday of an extremely busy week with long days. I had like no time to eat, I had 255 calories over 12 hours and was so hungry and exhausted. I finally got home around 10:30, ate 1517 calories. Steps from working were ridiculous yesterday, 23,707. 2 days off and then the same again next week. Guess I will try to start unpacking from my trip, doing laundry, attending to my neglected garden. I don't feel like doing much of anything, my whole body hurts and I am tired. I will drink some more coffee and then get a few dance workout songs in to get my blood moving.
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): .
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/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.

Day 25: Sun, 9/11: 224.5 Walked 1.3 miles. Guessing that the slight headache & fatigue are from the booster yesterday. Not bad but sleep pattern was off Friday night and so while I accomplished some things Saturday DH & I were pretty lazy.

Day 30: Fri, 9/16: DNW Gardened. I took a Sudafed before going to bed last night and I think it disrupted my sleep. Felt like I was half awake most of the night. NOTE to self: Downside to decongestants is that they can cause insomnia. It acts as a stimulant. GOOGLED at 5am this morning.
Day 31: Sat, 9/17: 224.5 Helping my daughter so no exercise. Then bought and ate a snickers plus cookies, cookies, cookies

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) & 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!

I need to watch those calories but I’ve got to keep a mindful eye on those carbs too. I also need to fit in a little movement, even on the travel days because that really hurts my bottom line when it’s a day full of mostly sitting.
Day 53-10/09-200.8-(Trend weight 199.5) Now that is a lot of bloat! No pill allowed today either because it’s a travel day. My first weigh in after pill will be Tuesday. My weight can fluctuate up to 5 pounds on the “off pill” days. Umph…..

@deepwoodslady
I can empathize with the bloat.
When I was so sick for 6 days I was incredibly bloated, like 7 months pregnant bloated.
Weirdly, I gained all sorts of weight as well, even though I could not eat at all with the Montezuma's revenge for fear of having to "go" while on the planes.
I had been completely better for 5 days, and then was up quite a bit with it last night. Hopefully it has worked its way through my system completely now. Trying to have at least a half cup of white rice each day (like we give to dogs when their guts are just not right lol).
So much of what we eat can put us down for the count.
Our bodies also can become intolerant to certain things as we age too.
Have any of your doctors sent you to a nutritionist or allergy specialist for your medical issues btw?
I knew a girl (like 40 years ago) who became a nutritionist. She would get a list of all of the foods that people liked and disliked and put it into an eating plan, suggest some alternatives, and counsel on how what we put in our bodies affects every aspect of our health. Even our teeth are affected!
We are all working toward healthier bodies.1 -
I am Dawn.
5'2", 62 (no blue eyes, but it still rhymes, so coochie coochie coo if anyone knows that song)
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 : - )

I will have a good healthy dinner for sure, since I begin another busy workweek tomorrow morning even though it is a holiday. I aim to spend most of the day in my garden today, there is so much that needs attention there.

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.3 -

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.

I can empathize with the bloat.
When I was so sick for 6 days I was incredibly bloated, like 7 months pregnant bloated.
Weirdly, I gained all sorts of weight as well, even though I could not eat at all with the Montezuma's revenge for fear of having to "go" while on the planes.
I had been completely better for 5 days, and then was up quite a bit with it last night. Hopefully it has worked its way through my system completely now. Trying to have at least a half cup of white rice each day (like we give to dogs when their guts are just not right lol).
So much of what we eat can put us down for the count.
Our bodies also can become intolerant to certain things as we age too.
Have any of your doctors sent you to a nutritionist or allergy specialist for your medical issues btw?
I knew a girl (like 40 years ago) who became a nutritionist. She would get a list of all of the foods that people liked and disliked and put it into an eating plan, suggest some alternatives, and counsel on how what we put in our bodies affects every aspect of our health. Even our teeth are affected!
We are all working toward healthier bodies.
@dawnbgethealthy I did see a nutritionist when I first because ill with adult onset diabetes. I learned a lot. Logging foods helps because I can look back at what has affected me when it comes to TMI etc. Of course the bloat is that my heart cannot move the fluids through me and the only thing that will help with that is my water pill. The fluid does not just collect in the feet, it collects in the abdomen too. I can physically measure my waist and see the difference when it's a non-pill day. I have a bit of a list of what is wrong with my heart. I'll message you when I get time. I just cannot safely do that much anymore. I'm doing my best. With the change in allowed exercise, I do, for sure need to be more mindful of my diet and my sodium intake. I am also unclear how much water I am allowed to drink since it's stuck once it's inside of me and prolly makes my heart work extra hard. I have to research and ask dr. when I go next. Sadly, all the tricks we use to lose weight are not all safe for me. I'm out of ideas! So, for now, I am doing all my usual stuff but in a "lame way". The challenges are real. I'm not going to let this get me down. I've got to do WHAT I can, WHEN I can. It may be harder than it used to be but it's healthy.
Edit: I wanted to add how disappointing my lack of exercise is. I found that it not only burned calories but kept me motivated. I mean, after taking the time out to dance long segments and sweat it up, I never wanted to "blow it" by overeating or choosing the wrong foods. It's a chore to pack everything up and drive to a trail and walk a hard path for long periods even though I loved it. Why would I come home and later eat a big bowl of ice cream and throw all my burned calories away? The inability to do so much now, well that can affect the diet too. I just didn't realize until it happened to me. There are a lot of battles here, but I'm dealing with them very disappointed, but dealing with it all nonetheless. Luckily I'm a stubborn Taurus and that helps.2 -

Day 54-10/10-199.8-(Trend weight 199.5) I was very very mindful of my dinner out during travel yesterday. I ate half and brought the other half home for my son later. Last night for dinner I ate half my usual portion. I was really trying to take cues from my body while eating. My accomplished goal was to only eat until I wasn’t super hungry anymore, then stop. I don’t have to be “full” to be nourished or satisfied. Today I am going to try to pick better choices in regards to carbs. I’ll look at each thing I eat and see if there is a healthier carb choice I can substitute. It’s a real start to lowering them.
