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.
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3791, which works out to an average of 541.57 over 7 days. First time that I have hit my goal of 500+ per week in quite a while, and it shows on the scale!
Day 64 – 1/30 - 143.2 - Up a bit from yesterday, but not too much. Going to make yet another Jambalaya today and pack it into portions for the freezer. Of course I will eat one of those portions for dinner tonight. Shovelled like crazy yesterday, which I love. The weather was perfect, but has dipped to minus 25 this morning, so I am glad that I got out to do that activity before the deep freeze. I will fit lots of bits of dancing in today, not even going to go outside I think.
Day 65 – 1/31 - 145.8 - No!! No idea where that came from. Lots of exercise, calories low. I don't get it. Hoping that it is just some weird sort of fluctuation in the wrong direction.
Day 66 – 2/1 - DNW - I have been having some elimination issues from running out the door for work before work (yesterday), so had a huge glass of water and coffee this morning, too late to weigh. Yesterday I weighed before running out to do a job, but my routine was disrupted.
Day 67 – 2/1 - 143.6 - I see that my dates are all off, not sure where I went wrong on that. Wednesday morning now.
Day 68 – 2/2 - 144.0 - Argh
Day 69 – 2/3 - 143.2 - I like how others are ending their weeks on Friday mornings since I normally have something other than meat and veggies on Friday nights and Saturday morning weigh-ins are usually the highest of the week. 30 days left. I have made the decision to end my week on a Friday now.
10th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
10th Week Actual Weight: 143.2 Started the week at 143.2
Excess calories burned (In the green): I will figure this out after today's numbers

Day 72 – 2/6
Day 73 – 2/7
Day 74 – 2/8

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
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.
Day 62: Thurs 1/26: 143.1
Day 63: Fri 1/27: 145.2 - Paying the price in weight for last night's wonderful dinner with friends!
Day 64: Sat 1/28: DNW - Rice included with dinner. 2nd day with extra carbs.
Day 65: Sun 1/29: DNW - Rice with lunch and pasta for dinner. Not good.
Day 66: Mon 1/30: 145.3 - Need to reel back on the carbs!
Day 67: Tues 1/31: 142.3 - This weigh-in was on a scale at the doctor's office. I should have weighed on the scale at home too, so I could compare. Anyway, just found out my cholesterol levels are high! Not good.
Day 68: Wed 2/1: 145.4 - Today is a new day. Need to figure out a plan to bring my cholesterol levels down. I don't want to be on medication for it.
Day 69: Thurs 2/2: 145.3
Day 70: Fri 2/3: 143.4 - Just added intermittent fasting (16:8) to what I hope will be a consistent routine for me. Day 1 was yesterday. Also got a work-out in!3 -
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!

Day 70-02/03-197.8-(Trend weight 196.8) It’s all catching up to the scale, including the Chinese food. DD the foodie came last night and will be here until Saturday night or Sunday (not sure yet). I’ve got to stay diligent. I couldn’t finish the Chinese yesterday as I find myself eating less most of the time. I will finish it today for lunch but push extra water again. Tonight I plan on possibly trying the palm heart linguini I bought with some low carb sauce for dinner. I hope it is good and don’t gag me. I have such aversions to so many foods. I read (in my research) that they are good so we shall see. Gosh, the scale went up over 3 pounds in 48 hours. But don’t let that fool ya! January was a good month for me and February will also be good. Excellence, diligence, strength, resolve and dedication will all be on my plate!

Didn't think I was going to make my goal as this week's been a bit unsettled with guests over the weekend and air travel mid week but thankfully things worked out. I expect my losses to slow down now as I get into the groove and past the initial water weight whoosh.

This week has gone by so fast! I've been feeling so fatigued lately, I don't know what's up but am thinking of making a doc appointment if it continues because I'm fed up with feeling slow and cold and down all the time. As predicted, I'm seeing my losses slow down now. I was trying to decide whether to adjust my weight loss goal for this challenge as I don't think 2lbs a week is realistic and I don't want to be demoralised by it, but I have decided to leave it as it is and see where I end up. If i lose 10lb rather than 15, that's still amazing!
Have a lovely weekend everyone

Day 70-02/03-197.8-(Trend weight 196.8) It’s all catching up to the scale, including the Chinese food. DD the foodie came last night and will be here until Saturday night or Sunday (not sure yet). I’ve got to stay diligent. I couldn’t finish the Chinese yesterday as I find myself eating less most of the time. I will finish it today for lunch but push extra water again. Tonight I plan on possibly trying the palm heart linguini I bought with some low carb sauce for dinner. I hope it is good and don’t gag me. I have such aversions to so many foods. I read (in my research) that they are good so we shall see. Gosh, the scale went up over 3 pounds in 48 hours. But don’t let that fool ya! January was a good month for me and February will also be good. Excellence, diligence, strength, resolve and dedication will all be on my plate!
WEEK 10 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.8 lbs. GAIN
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.6 lbs. GAIN
Day 71-02/04-196.4-(Trend weight 196.8) I fasted yesterday until 2:00 pm which made me miss a meal. I also worked more in my bedroom with the clothing organizing. I cleaned out another drawer (the t-shirt drawer) and also worked on replacing more hangers with the wire-top velvet hangers. They are thinner which helps me fit more in the closet. Also, no more clothing falling off the white plastic ones to the floor. Clothes stick like glue on them. Love it! That, along with my routine exercise machines helped me burn extra calories for the day. I’ll be working more in the bedroom today but I really need to make the food choices even better and as healthy as I can handle. I see an endocrinologist for the 1st time on Feb 15th where I will try to convince them to keep me off insulin and allow me to let my diet lower my blood glucose levels along with the help of my current pill-form diabetes medicines. I plan on asking them to give me 3 months (until the next A1C blood test) to prove that I can improve with a proper lower carb diabetic diet. So I better start eating one, or more specifically, STICK TO eating one!

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
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.
Day 62: Thurs 1/26: 143.1
Day 63: Fri 1/27: 145.2 - Paying the price in weight for last night's wonderful dinner with friends!
Day 64: Sat 1/28: DNW - Rice included with dinner. 2nd day with extra carbs.
Day 65: Sun 1/29: DNW - Rice with lunch and pasta for dinner. Not good.
Day 66: Mon 1/30: 145.3 - Need to reel back on the carbs!
Day 67: Tues 1/31: 142.3 - This weigh-in was on a scale at the doctor's office. I should have weighed on the scale at home too, so I could compare. Anyway, just found out my cholesterol levels are high! Not good.
Day 68: Wed 2/1: 145.4 - Today is a new day. Need to figure out a plan to bring my cholesterol levels down. I don't want to be on medication for it.
Day 69: Thurs 2/2: 145.3
Day 70: Fri 2/3: 143.4 - Just added intermittent fasting (16:8) to what I hope will be a consistent routine for me. Day 1 was yesterday. Also got a work-out in!
Day 71: Sat 2/4: 142.6 - IF yesterday (17:7). Ate whole foods, avoided bad carbs and sugar, and got a work out in. A good day!1 -
@deepwoodslady
How was the palm heart linguini?
Glad to hear that you are going to work on changing your numbers with your eating lifestyle rather than have to begin daily injections. You can do this, cheering for you!
Hopefully the dietician will be able to suggest some new things to try.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.
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3791, which works out to an average of 541.57 over 7 days. First time that I have hit my goal of 500+ per week in quite a while, and it shows on the scale!
Day 64 – 1/30 - 143.2 - Up a bit from yesterday, but not too much. Going to make yet another Jambalaya today and pack it into portions for the freezer. Of course I will eat one of those portions for dinner tonight. Shovelled like crazy yesterday, which I love. The weather was perfect, but has dipped to minus 25 this morning, so I am glad that I got out to do that activity before the deep freeze. I will fit lots of bits of dancing in today, not even going to go outside I think.
Day 65 – 1/31 - 145.8 - No!! No idea where that came from. Lots of exercise, calories low. I don't get it. Hoping that it is just some weird sort of fluctuation in the wrong direction.
Day 66 – 2/1 - DNW - I have been having some elimination issues from running out the door for work before work (yesterday), so had a huge glass of water and coffee this morning, too late to weigh. Yesterday I weighed before running out to do a job, but my routine was disrupted.
Day 67 – 2/1 - 143.6 - I see that my dates are all off, not sure where I went wrong on that. Wednesday morning now.
Day 68 – 2/2 - 144.0 - Argh
Day 69 – 2/3 - 143.2 - I like how others are ending their weeks on Friday mornings since I normally have something other than meat and veggies on Friday nights and Saturday morning weigh-ins are usually the highest of the week. 30 days left. I have made the decision to end my week on a Friday now.
10th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
10th Week Actual Weight: 143.2 Started the week at 143.2
Excess calories burned (In the green): 1921 - 320.16 average over 6 days - not enough
Day 70 – 2/4 - 144.8 - Got into those breaded cheese stuffed asceola olives last night, lots of salt. I went into the red!
Day 71 – 2/5

Day 73 – 2/7
Day 74 – 2/8
Day 75 – 2/9

Didn't think I was going to make my goal as this week's been a bit unsettled with guests over the weekend and air travel mid week but thankfully things worked out. I expect my losses to slow down now as I get into the groove and past the initial water weight whoosh.

This week has gone by so fast! I've been feeling so fatigued lately, I don't know what's up but am thinking of making a doc appointment if it continues because I'm fed up with feeling slow and cold and down all the time. As predicted, I'm seeing my losses slow down now. I was trying to decide whether to adjust my weight loss goal for this challenge as I don't think 2lbs a week is realistic and I don't want to be demoralised by it, but I have decided to leave it as it is and see where I end up. If i lose 10lb rather than 15, that's still amazing!
Have a lovely weekend everyone

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 71-02/04-196.4-(Trend weight 196.8) I fasted yesterday until 2:00 pm which made me miss a meal. I also worked more in my bedroom with the clothing organizing. I cleaned out another drawer (the t-shirt drawer) and also worked on replacing more hangers with the wire-top velvet hangers. They are thinner which helps me fit more in the closet. Also, no more clothing falling off the white plastic ones to the floor. Clothes stick like glue on them. Love it! That, along with my routine exercise machines helped me burn extra calories for the day. I’ll be working more in the bedroom today but I really need to make the food choices even better and as healthy as I can handle. I see an endocrinologist for the 1st time on Feb 15th where I will try to convince them to keep me off insulin and allow me to let my diet lower my blood glucose levels along with the help of my current pill-form diabetes medicines. I plan on asking them to give me 3 months (until the next A1C blood test) to prove that I can improve with a proper lower carb diabetic diet. So I better start eating one, or more specifically, STICK TO eating one!
Day 72-02/05-195.6-(Trend weight 196.7) A good day yesterday food-wise, but an awful lot of sitting on the computer. I did get in a 30 minute stationary bike ride last night, but otherwise….Babysat DGS so there were a lot of stairs, just not a lot of steps. I’ll work on doing better today. Today will be a bit of a high sodium day as I finish up my egg drop soup from an out-of-town restaurant. I’ve pre-logged my day and am already sipping water alongside my coffee. I woke up starving with my stomach continually growling. Today will be challenging but do-able if I just stick to the prelogged plan.

How was the palm heart linguini?
Glad to hear that you are going to work on changing your numbers with your eating lifestyle rather than have to begin daily injections. You can do this, cheering for you!
Hopefully the dietician will be able to suggest some new things to try.
@dawnbgethealthy The palm heart linguini was actually very good. I bought it in a pouch but I have seen online that the same brand also comes in a can. I would have to check the sodium levels to see if there is a difference.
The pouch said to rinse well so I did. It also said if I want it less crunch to boil 5-10 minutes so I boiled it for 10 minutes. It was not soft like noodles but better than zoodles. I will use them again. I also bought a package of the "miracle noodles". I will try them sometime soon. Tonight (to use up the leftover sauce from 2 days ago) I will make a spaghetti squash and use the innards as noodles. It is very low in calorie and carbs too. I don't want the squash to go bad as I've had it over a week. This is my way of incorporating a veggie into my diet. Sometimes I can do that if I smother it with something. However, I've got to be careful of what I smother it with!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
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!!!
Day 61: 01/25 - 232.6
Day 62: 01/26 -
Day 63: 01/27 - 234.6 - 2 days of caring for my granddaughter while she was sick so DD and her hubby can work and eating heavy meals at both lunch & dinner with no exercise and very little water does show up on the scale.
Day 64: 01/28 - 232.4

Day 65: 01/29 - 233.0 @ 3:30am - Worked at the Houston Food Bank for 4 hours packing 900 senior boxes. They were doing 900 more that afternoon. Talk about a work out! Feels good to do something for others though. Largest food bank in the US … huge warehouse.
Day 66: 01/30 - 232.2 - Rainy day. Decorated the outside of my home for Mardi Gras, Swedish Death Cleaning the kitchen … getting rid of so much stuff I never use or really need to replace. But I did bake a carrot cake which is half gone between DH, my sister and I.
Day 67: 01/31 - 234.2 - Photography class nature walk and Strength Training class cannot offset 3 pieces of carrot cake (breakfast, lunch, dinner) + pizza for dinner. Granddaughter is still throwing up since last Tuesday even on anti-nausea meds. She saw the doc again on Monday. I’m heading over there to give my daughter some relief so she can go to work and begin her new commercial design project that has been delayed due to her caring for the little one.
Day 68: 02/01 - 234.4 - Little activity outside of taking care of my granddaughter while she is sick.
Day 69: 02/02 - 233.3 - Another day of little activity due to weather and caring for my granddaughter. That said I was up and down on the floor a lot and managed a few planks while playing with her.
Day 70: 02/03 - 232.2 - Teaching ESL and playing with my other granddaughter. Not really focused but glad that the king cake bump on the scale is gone.
Day 71: 02/04 - 232.3 - Walked 1.5 miles

This week has gone by so fast! I've been feeling so fatigued lately, I don't know what's up but am thinking of making a doc appointment if it continues because I'm fed up with feeling slow and cold and down all the time.
@39flavours I remember feeling that way and wasn't sure why. Dr. ordered blood work done. Turns out I was severely lacking in vitamin D. After bringing those levels up, I felt so much better!3 -
I’m Teri
Age 59, Height 5’4”
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
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.
Day 62: Thurs 1/26: 143.1
Day 63: Fri 1/27: 145.2 - Paying the price in weight for last night's wonderful dinner with friends!
Day 64: Sat 1/28: DNW - Rice included with dinner. 2nd day with extra carbs.
Day 65: Sun 1/29: DNW - Rice with lunch and pasta for dinner. Not good.
Day 66: Mon 1/30: 145.3 - Need to reel back on the carbs!
Day 67: Tues 1/31: 142.3 - This weigh-in was on a scale at the doctor's office. I should have weighed on the scale at home too, so I could compare. Anyway, just found out my cholesterol levels are high! Not good.
Day 68: Wed 2/1: 145.4 - Today is a new day. Need to figure out a plan to bring my cholesterol levels down. I don't want to be on medication for it.
Day 69: Thurs 2/2: 145.3
Day 70: Fri 2/3: 143.4 - Just added intermittent fasting (16:8) to what I hope will be a consistent routine for me. Day 1 was yesterday. Also got a work-out in!
Day 71: Sat 2/4: 142.6 - IF yesterday (17:7). Ate whole foods, avoided bad carbs and sugar, and got a work out in. A good day!
Day 72: Sun 2/5: 144.1 - Not sure why the gain. Oh well, just need to keep pushing thru.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

This week has gone by so fast! I've been feeling so fatigued lately, I don't know what's up but am thinking of making a doc appointment if it continues because I'm fed up with feeling slow and cold and down all the time.
@39flavours I remember feeling that way and wasn't sure why. Dr. ordered blood work done. Turns out I was severely lacking in vitamin D. After bringing those levels up, I felt so much better!
Thanks, yes vitamin D is a possibility, I don't get outside nearly enough. I take some vitamins and supplements but i don't think vit D is in there.
It could also be a thyroid issue, I was tested in Sept '21 and was shown to have borderline levels for hypothyroidism. I should really go back for another test but I'm a bit of a wimp, I really don't want to find out I need meds as I've read that thyroid meds can make you feel more tired.

Didn't think I was going to make my goal as this week's been a bit unsettled with guests over the weekend and air travel mid week but thankfully things worked out. I expect my losses to slow down now as I get into the groove and past the initial water weight whoosh.

This week has gone by so fast! I've been feeling so fatigued lately, I don't know what's up but am thinking of making a doc appointment if it continues because I'm fed up with feeling slow and cold and down all the time. As predicted, I'm seeing my losses slow down now. I was trying to decide whether to adjust my weight loss goal for this challenge as I don't think 2lbs a week is realistic and I don't want to be demoralised by it, but I have decided to leave it as it is and see where I end up. If i lose 10lb rather than 15, that's still amazing!
Have a lovely weekend everyone

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 47 12-Jan 86.4
Day 48 13-Jan 86.3
Day 49 14-Jan 86.1

Day 56 21-Jan 87.0
Day 57 22-Jan 86.9
Day 58 23-Jan 86.0 New Low
Day 59 24-Jan 86.0
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 day

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

Day 72-02/05-195.6-(Trend weight 196.7) A good day yesterday food-wise, but an awful lot of sitting on the computer. I did get in a 30 minute stationary bike ride last night, but otherwise….Babysat DGS so there were a lot of stairs, just not a lot of steps. I’ll work on doing better today. Today will be a bit of a high sodium day as I finish up my egg drop soup from an out-of-town restaurant. I’ve pre-logged my day and am already sipping water alongside my coffee. I woke up starving with my stomach continually growling. Today will be challenging but do-able if I just stick to the prelogged plan.
Day 73-02/06-195.6-(Trend weight 196.5) I ate something for the first time last night that I thought I would HATE. Scallops! Even after rinsing they smelled so fishy but I followed the simple and fast recipe and OMGOSH, they were delicious. Thank you Gordon Ramsey for giving me the faith to try. I was having spaghetti squash with a cream basil alfredo sauce and decided I needed to add some protein and had them in my freezer. After a quick thaw in a bowl, they were only 4 or 5 minutes to cook. According to MFP, the 5 small scallops came in at 89 calories and 4 carbs. I will be having them again!
