Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. AF. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!
Day 54: 01/18 - 231.8 - Still not tracking water and food. AF, no exercise. Teaching ESL, read, shopped, etc. Productive day except for getting myself back on plan.
Day 55: 01/19 - 231.2 - No journal. AF last night skipping margaritas at book club, walk 1.3 miles.
Day 56: 01/20 - 230.1 - No journal, wine, water. Granddaughter duty for the entire day then a nap before dining out with friends.
Day 57: 01/21 - 230.9 - No journal, drinks (bourbon & Diet Coke), water, Strength Training 1 hour … hmmmm my food was not that bad so I’m wondering if I had hidden calories or if it was left over from the pasta the night before.
8th Week Goal Weight - 228.x
8th Week Actual Weight - 230.9
This Week Weight GAIN: 1.5
Total Challenge Weight GAIN: 1.7
Day 58: 01/22 - 232
Day 59: 01/23 - 231.2 - Walked 1.3 miles. AF. Spent the day digging in boxes and looking for easter pics of my kids for seasonal frame area I’ve created this year. I found 5 pics between the years 1992-1998! My adult children were so little. My kids keep asking who their kids take after. This has been a fun project. It also helps for me to see how thin I was after 3 kids ... and to think I thought I was fat back then!

@Lilylady3k What a great picture you have shared. Your children will love it! I adore the frames and the buffet as well. So Lovely!!!!!!2

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.Day 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

Day 57-01/21-196.4-(Trend weight 197.8)
Day 58-01/22-197.4-(Trend weight 197.8) Feb 9th (approximately 2 ½ weeks from now) is the halfway point of the 10 pounds in 4 months challenge. I don’t know if my weight will be halfway there (5 pound loss), but I’m going to give it the old college try. Marking the 190’s off my scratch sheet above AND being in the 180’s for the first time in a long time seems like a dream, but dreams can come true! I’ve just got to keep stepping up my game one tweak at a time. Most people aim to lose 2 pounds per week. We are only aiming for 2.5 pounds per month. We got this, right? Let’s keep going! This pep talk is to remind you all the WE CAN DO IT.
An uptick on my scale this morning from homemade chicken noodle soup. The wide egg noodles got me in the carb department but I had a super low carb breakfast and no lunch to help offset so that kept it a bit under control. I’ve frozen a bunch of it so I don’t keep eating it for days in a row, but there will be leftovers for tonight. I’ll tweak my whole day for it again. Good habits matter, right?
Dawn b get healthy I bought some of the konjac noodles for spaghetti. Last time I tried them I had a very difficult time stomaching them due to the fishy smell, even after rinsing them well. I am willing to try again. I also found some spaghetti noodles pre-made (like the konjac) of palm hearts. I'll try those too. I'll share what I think on both of them when I use them.
Day 59-01/23-198.2-(Trend weight 197.8) My homemade soup eaten two days in a row really hurt the bottom line. I actually find that quite surprising. Today, the rest goes in the freezer in smaller portions for some other time when I need a quick dinner. Smaller portions are in order perhaps? I travel this week on Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri of this week. That affects my ability to take my water pill so that is not going to help either. It’s going to be a tough week but I got this! Staying positive…..

Portions really are important. This was the hardest thing for me when I began this weight loss journey.
I would remind myself to wait the 20 minutes, and I was in fact full after the 20 as opposed to keeping eating until I felt that satiety.
Portioning and labelling the calories and contents of each thing before putting it into the freezer has become a habit for me.
I began to make a sandwich and just ate half.
I am one of those continuous eaters, so blueberries (in season) and such have become my go to at work - eating a couple, running around waitressing, eating a couple more etc. I do believe that it keeps my energy up without weighing me down with a heavy meal.
I have learned to eat huge platefuls of stuff with minimal calories also. Except for Ribs, which I have limited to once every couple of months. I have no interest in eating just 1 Rib.

Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2983 = 426.14 - a little closer to my goal of 500 per day averaged out over the week.
Day 57 – 1/23 - 143.6 - Very late in posting today. I gain weight every weekend. Someone please remind me to make the end of my week like Thursdays next 100. I do workouts on the weekends, but don't get the 400+ steps from waitressing in. Also I haven't had any trail walks/skis because of the weather conditions (puddles on top of ice) and my sore ankle. It was a good weekend, got out to the Theatre Saturday night for a production of "Cabaret". We are due for the weather to become colder here soon, so more ice. That makes it easier for me to handle having to take it easy on my sore ankle in hopes that the steroid will kick in over the next few weeks.
Day 58 – 1/24 - 142.8 - No splits this week (or ever again?) but I have been invited for dinner tomorrow night, Indian/Indonesian couple, the food is always amazing. I will do my best to keep it reasonable.
Day 59 – 1/25
Day 60 – 1/26
Day 61 – 1/27
Day 62 – 1/28
Day 63 – 1/29
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green):

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.Day 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

Day 59-01/23-198.2-(Trend weight 197.8) My homemade soup eaten two days in a row really hurt the bottom line. I actually find that quite surprising. Today, the rest goes in the freezer in smaller portions for some other time when I need a quick dinner. Smaller portions are in order perhaps? I travel this week on Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri of this week. That affects my ability to take my water pill so that is not going to help either. It’s going to be a tough week but I got this! Staying positive…..
Day 60-01/24-197.8-(Trend weight 197.8) An improved diet yesterday over the soup, but it honestly could have been even better. However, I logged every BLT staying faithful to the overall process. I bought mixed nuts (with no cheap peanuts mixed in) for healthy fat/hunger control. I portioned them out in snack-sized bags to take when traveling or for home snacking but it’s a LOT of calories for such a small measured portion. Too tempting to eat more than one baggie. I don’t think I’ll buy them again as they became a “diet” food I cheated with last night. I’ll stick to the almonds that I count before I eat. They are not nearly as tempting and are more effective overall in my opinion. Family doctor today for what is usually my worst A1C glucose test of the year (after the holidays!) This appointment was required before she would give me my referral and pre-authorization to see the dietician for my diabetes. She knows how bad my glucose levels are, but I guess everyone wants to share in the dollar.

Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2983 = 426.14 - a little closer to my goal of 500 per day averaged out over the week.
Day 57 – 1/23 - 143.6 - Very late in posting today. I gain weight every weekend. Someone please remind me to make the end of my week like Thursdays next 100. I do workouts on the weekends, but don't get the 400+ steps from waitressing in. Also I haven't had any trail walks/skis because of the weather conditions (puddles on top of ice) and my sore ankle. It was a good weekend, got out to the Theatre Saturday night for a production of "Cabaret". We are due for the weather to become colder here soon, so more ice. That makes it easier for me to handle having to take it easy on my sore ankle in hopes that the steroid will kick in over the next few weeks.
Day 58 – 1/24 - 142.8 - No splits this week (or ever again?) but I have been invited for dinner tomorrow night, Indian/Indonesian couple, the food is always amazing. I will do my best to keep it reasonable.
Day 59 – 1/25 - 144.0 - No reason at all for the big jump in weight. I don't feel heavier at all this morning, calories and activity were on point.
Day 60 – 1/26
Day 61 – 1/27
Day 62 – 1/28
Day 63 – 1/29
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green):
Start weight of the 100: 142.2
Goal 132.23 -
@deepwoodslady
Ah, the system.
Yes, roasted unsalted Almonds are a good healthy snack for sure! And yeah, big calories, but good calories. Hopefully the dietician will find another few snacks that you can tolerate that might be a bit more filling and less calories within things that you like. Maybe she/he will suggest some things that you have never tried but might like. You travel so much, so finding something to take with you it is a good plan to keep your blood sugar even.2 -

Jumping in halfway into this challenge. I fell off the wagon during the last challenge.
Challenge Starting Weight: 144.6 lbs (01/14)
Challenge Goal Weight: 137.6 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-133 lbs
Challenge Ending Weight:
Total Weight Loss for Challenge:
Day 50: Sat, 1/14: 144.6
Day 51: Sun, 1/15: 143.8
Day 52: Mon, 1/16: 143.9
Day 53: Tues, 1/17: 145.6 - Up two pounds. Maybe due to a high sodium dinner last night? Also had 1 glass of red wine, although I'm not sure if that was a contributing factor in my weight increase.
Day 54: Wed, 1/18: 144
Day 55: Thur, 1/19: 143.3
Day 56: Fri, 1/20: 143.8
Day 57: Sat, 1/21: 143.6 - Stayed on track with my meals yesterday and got a workout in. No change in weight for 3 days.
Day 58: Sun, 1/22: 143.8 - 4th day no change in weight. I did have potato chips and a McDouble from McDonald's yesterday, so I guess I should be happy my weight didn't go up.
Day 59: Mon, 1/23: 144.2
Day 60: Tues, 1/24: 143.1

I want to see how much I can lose, starting off with something relatively easy, 50 grams a day. Each 20 day block I want to increase the amount I lose each day. Goal day is calculated using 7 day averages most recently and a month ago.
Day 01 27-Nov 88.2 kg, goal day in 715 days, so I overate, but that's alright because I always overeat the day I restart my weight loss
Day 02 28-Nov 88.5, goal day in 780 days, I overate again, I guess this is why my weight loss is very slow
Day 03 29-Nov 88.2, goal day in 650 days, I ate too much unfortunately
Day 04 30-Nov 88.1, goal day in 630 days, I didn't overeat, but I think I didn't eat below maintenance
Day 05 1-Dec 87.6, goal day in 660 days
I was doing well throughout the day then I bought a large bag of chips unexpectedly
Day 06 2-Dec 88.7 goal day in 850 days, and I bought sausage and chips in the evening, I guess I should have predicted that, rather than overeating. I will see if I can eat below maintenance everyday until I can get back on track
Day 07 3-Dec 89.0, goal day in 1070 days, I ate under maintenance and didn't have any salt
Day 08 4-Dec 88.1, goal weight in 1270 days
Day 09 5-Dec 87.9 I have decided to put my weight loss on hold because I am moving overseas and I'm too busy
Day 10 6-Dec 87.5
Day 11 7-Dec DNW no access to scale in the morning
Day 12 8-Dec DNW
Day 13 9-Dec DNW
Day 14 10-Dec 88.5
Day 15 11-Dec 88.4
Day 16 12-Dec 88.7 still putting weight loss on hold for the moment
Day 17 13-Dec 87.7
Day 18 14-Dec 88.0
Day 19 15-Dec DNW
Day 20 16-Dec 88.3
Day 21 17-Dec 88.1 So I'm in Singapore briefly right now and the obesity rate is 9% compared to New Zealand's 35%. It's quite a noticeable difference. It's a constant reminder that if I am ever to achieve my goals I'm going to have to start today. So I'm going to aim for a 3 grams per day trendline reduction on my weights spreadsheet graph today. Tomorrow will be 6 grams a day etc etc. Currently it's 4.6 grams per day although that number will jiggle up and down a lot which is fine.
Day 22 18-Dec DNW
Day 23 19-Dec DNW
Day 24 20-Dec 87.4
Day 25 21-Dec 87.1
Day 26 22-Dec 88.0 So I'm relatively settled here in the Philippines and finally living with my girlfriend. My spreadsheet trendline is dropping by 41 grams a day which I'm happy about. It's my first time I've had a girlfriend who is slimmer than me (together longer than 6 weeks) so I'm going to try and use that to help lose weight
--update--
So we shifted hotels and I only ate apples and crackers today, not a good menu plan, hopefully we get into a proper food buying routine soon
Day 27 23-Dec 88.5 trendline 29 g/day which is good
Day 28 24-Dec 88.5 I had some sugary food today, which means that I went about 5-6 days without sugar, a huge achievement for me. My weight loss is happening, but it's quite slow, Christmas day is tomorrow and I expect to gain a bit then. So things are happening slowly
Day 29 25-Dec 87.7 trendline 22 g/day which is okay
Christmas Day saw me eating a lot of cake (plus some chickpeas surprisingly) and not much else. I guess I gained weight today. That's fine, thankfully Christmas comes only once a year. I want to speed up my weight loss, let's see if I can do that.
Day 30 26-Dec 86.9 New Low trendline 32 g/day which is good
I'm having trouble figuring out what to eat here, it's hard to get quality food without walking a while, I guess I'm used to driving to the supermarket, now I don't have a car. I didn't expect to have such simple problems causing me to slow down my weight loss.
Day 31 27-Dec 87.9 trendline 23 g/day which is slow
Another day of not so good control of what I'm eating, it's hard to figure out how much to eat/how much hunger to tolerate when you're eating food you're not used to. I guess I just need to keep trying until I'm successful, rather than "taking a break" as I have done in the past.
Day 32 28-Dec 87.5 trendline 26 g/day which is slow
I'm guessing that my eating today is lower than previously, it's hard to tell though, unfortunately now that I'm not tracking my intake it's harder to tell what's going on
Day 33 29-Dec 87.5 trendline 28 g/day which is slow, body measurements 810 cm
Day 34 30-Dec 87.5
Day 35 31-Dec 87.1
Day 36 1-Jan 87.7
Day 37 2-Jan 87.9
Day 38 DNW
Day 39 4-Jan 87.7
Day 40 5-Jan 87.7
Day 41 6-Jan 87.6 So I'm paused in my weight loss, we moved into our new home and without a fridge freezer yet, we're doing a daily shop which is of course not good for weight loss. I don't want to jinx it but I had a sugar fest before the turn of the year, a packet of M&Ms 2 minutes before midnight and now I'm doing well, still sugar free. From today onwards I'll ask whether I have lost weight, hopefully the answers are mostly 'yes'.
--update-
Today I managed to keep control of my eating, it's hard because I have tracked my intake on an app for so long that I need to learn the skill of eating less (without eating too little).
Day 42 7-Jan 86.9 lowest weight in 12 days so my controlled eating went well
I guess I ate more than yesterday, so did I eat under maintenance? Maybe.
Day 43 8-Jan 87.3 I controlled my eating reasonably well which probably resulted in...
Day 44 9-Jan 86.7 New Low, lowest weight in 1017 days, Did I eat under maintenance? Maybe
Day 45 10-Jan 86.6 New Low, lowest weight in 1019 days
Did I eat under maintenance? Again maybe. I'm really losing weight right now but I get the feeling that my weight is going down simply because there's less food in my system. I haven't been too hungry.
Day 46 11-Jan 86.1 New Low, lowest weight in 1024 day

Day 60 25-Jan 86.7 Well, I've kind of stopped losing weight recently, as indicated by the lack of comments. Anyway, back on the horse, today I start losing weight again. My current 20 day weight loss rate is 8 grams a day2 -
Mind if I join? I could really use the accountability. I was here before, last year, and doing well but I fell off the wagon 😞.

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.Day 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

Day 59-01/23-198.2-(Trend weight 197.8)
Day 60-01/24-197.8-(Trend weight 197.8) An improved diet yesterday over the soup, but it honestly could have been even better. However, I logged every BLT staying faithful to the overall process. I bought mixed nuts (with no cheap peanuts mixed in) for healthy fat/hunger control. I portioned them out in snack-sized bags to take when traveling or for home snacking but it’s a LOT of calories for such a small measured portion. Too tempting to eat more than one baggie. I don’t think I’ll buy them again as they became a “diet” food I cheated with last night. I’ll stick to the almonds that I count before I eat. They are not nearly as tempting and are more effective overall in my opinion. Family doctor today for what is usually my worst A1C glucose test of the year (after the holidays!) This appointment was required before she would give me my referral and pre-authorization to see the dietician for my diabetes. She knows how bad my glucose levels are, but I guess everyone wants to share in the dollar.
Day 61-01/25-197.6-(Trend weight 197.8)My A1C was 10 point something at the drs yesterday. After I heard the number 10 I just couldn’t hear anything else for a few moments. I knew it would be worse after the holidays and all! I’ve got a lot of work to do. I got my old treadmill back last night from the folks who bought my house 2 years ago. They saw me looking for one on facebook and even brought it to me. My cardiac rehab therapists are going to be very happy.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. AF. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!
Day 54: 01/18 - 231.8 - Still not tracking water and food. AF, no exercise. Teaching ESL, read, shopped, etc. Productive day except for getting myself back on plan.
Day 55: 01/19 - 231.2 - No journal. AF last night skipping margaritas at book club, walk 1.3 miles.
Day 56: 01/20 - 230.1 - No journal, wine, water. Granddaughter duty for the entire day then a nap before dining out with friends.
Day 57: 01/21 - 230.9 - No journal, drinks (bourbon & Diet Coke), water, Strength Training 1 hour … hmmmm my food was not that bad so I’m wondering if I had hidden calories or if it was left over from the pasta the night before.
8th Week Goal Weight - 228.x
8th Week Actual Weight - 230.9
This Week Weight GAIN: 1.5
Total Challenge Weight GAIN: 1.7
Day 58: 01/22 - 232
Day 59: 01/23 - 231.2 - Walked 1.3 miles. AF. Spent the day digging in boxes and looking for easter pics of my kids for seasonal frame area I’ve created this year. I found 5 pics between the years 1992-1998! My adult children were so little. My kids keep asking who their kids take after. This has been a fun project. It also helps for me to see how thin I was after 3 kids ... and to think I thought I was fat back then!
Day 60: 01/24 - 233 - Too much king cake!!!

First entry: I am 67(soon to be 68}, male who weighed in this morning at 280. My goal would be to reach 225 in an ideal world, but today I am saying I want to see the scale below 250. This day one of my road to 100.2

@Rugger73
Welcome. Glad that you are joining us
@cpanus
You are crushing it. Good work!
@Lilylady3k
That menu sounds decadent! You are already a gourmet cook, more to add to your already impressive repertoire.
@deepwoodslady
Did your doc refer you to a dietician?2 -
I have been having a great deal of trouble with MFP over the last 2 or 3 days.
I enter stuff, and it disappears! Very frustrating.
I have a desktop and a laptop. My desktop I think is not accepting all of the tracking and cookies from MFP.
I don't want to have to continue to enter stuff a dozen times before it "takes".
Is anyone else encountering this over the past few days?1 -
Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)
1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834
2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.
3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick
4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days
5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.
6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.
7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2983 = 426.14 - a little closer to my goal of 500 per day averaged out over the week.
Day 57 – 1/23 - 143.6 - Very late in posting today. I gain weight every weekend. Someone please remind me to make the end of my week like Thursdays next 100. I do workouts on the weekends, but don't get the 400+ steps from waitressing in. Also I haven't had any trail walks/skis because of the weather conditions (puddles on top of ice) and my sore ankle. It was a good weekend, got out to the Theatre Saturday night for a production of "Cabaret". We are due for the weather to become colder here soon, so more ice. That makes it easier for me to handle having to take it easy on my sore ankle in hopes that the steroid will kick in over the next few weeks.
Day 58 – 1/24 - 142.8 - No splits this week (or ever again?) but I have been invited for dinner tomorrow night, Indian/Indonesian couple, the food is always amazing. I will do my best to keep it reasonable.
Day 59 – 1/25 - 144.0 - No reason at all for the big jump in weight. I don't feel heavier at all this morning, calories and activity were on point.
Day 60 – 1/26 - 143.4 - Weight is all over the place. I feel a bit stuck. There is public skating today, but I am not going to go this time with my sore ankle. I went last Wednesday and then was awake all night in pain. Not sure if the steroid shot in my ankle is going to work or not, trying to stay patient.
Day 61 – 1/27
Day 62 – 1/28
Day 63 – 1/29
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green):
Start weight of the 100: 142.2

Day 52: Mon, 1/16: 143.9
Day 53: Tues, 1/17: 145.6 - Up two pounds. Maybe due to a high sodium dinner last night? Also had 1 glass of red wine, although I'm not sure if that was a contributing factor in my weight increase.

Day 55: Thur, 1/19: 143.3
Day 56: Fri, 1/20: 143.8

Day 58: Sun, 1/22: 143.8 - 4th day no change in weight. I did have potato chips and a McDouble from McDonald's yesterday, so I guess I should be happy my weight didn't go up.

Day 60: Tues, 1/24: 143.1
Day 61: Wed, 1/25: 143.1 - Lost only 1.5 lbs in 11 days. I've always been a slow loser, but it can feel discouraging at times.2 -

101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date
My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 181.2
Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss.

Day 60-01/24-197.8-(Trend weight 197.8)
Day 61-01/25-197.6-(Trend weight 197.8)My A1C was 10 point something at the drs yesterday. After I heard the number 10 I just couldn’t hear anything else for a few moments. I knew it would be worse after the holidays and all! I’ve got a lot of work to do. I got my old treadmill back last night from the folks who bought my house 2 years ago. They saw me looking for one on facebook and even brought it to me. My cardiac rehab therapists are going to be very happy.
Day 62-01/26-196.8-(Trend weight 197.9) In two weeks they are changing my cardiac rehab days from Mon/Wed to Tue/Thur. I’m not real happy about that due to lots of previously made appointments coming up on those days. Also, the whole town seems to have senior discounts (30%) all over the place on Wednesdays only. I’ll be missing that for sure! Yesterday was a very good eating day. I would say great but I did try something not on my pre-logged food. It was small so I dropped off one of my snacks to make up for it and still had pretty good macros afterall, (over by 5 on carbs tho). Nice to still see a loss. Got some exercise in during the rehab. Broke a sweat and my EKG showed good. I decided to look up my BMI future after reading a post from someone else on another challenge. I will finally (barely) dip into the overweight category at exactly 180 pounds. That is certainly another goal to achieve.
