    About me:
    Hi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
    I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
    In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
    For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
    I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
    The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
    I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
    So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.

    Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

    100 Days of Accountability 6/15 - 9/22
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 62, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 230.8 (6/14/2023)
    Challenge Goal: <219
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    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)
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023)

    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Get out of the 230s!!!!!!
    * Recover lowest during round #15 226.2
    * Making below 225 stick
    * Into the teens again: <220
    * Less than I started 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 2023 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; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
    🔹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 Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Day’s Comment (Switching to report day of activities instead of previous day to be less confusing tracking steps & activity)

    Info from last day of round #15.
    Day 100: 6/14 - 230.8 / 231.4 - 12452 steps 4.9 miles (3.1 mile walk)

    Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
    I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
    Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off.

    1st week goal weight: < 230
    1st week actual weight: 229.6
    1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2
    Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!

    Day 3: 6/17 - -
    Day 4: 6/18 - -
    Day 5: 6/19 - -
    Day 6: 6/20 - -
    Day 7: 6/21 - -
    Day 8: 6/22 - -
    Day 9: 6/23 - -

    2nd week goal weight: < 230 until I maintain it!

    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn. 5'2", 62 years old.
    My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.


    I am not cutting out any food groups, or anything at all really because I want weight loss to be sustainable for life. I have learned to have less of certain things, and have moved some other stuff to once per week or once per 3 months (Ribs, very fattening). If I thought that I couldn't have them at all I believe that it would be worse. For the most part I eat very healthy foods.
    I have had quite a bit of success since I started MFP October 28.18, but this past year has been an almost 15 pound gain after being in the 130s for 2 years.

    I love this long length of 100 days, and seeing how each week is going,

    I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
    Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6

    Best of luck to everyone.

    Day 1: Thursday 6/15 - 144.4 - Up a whole pound from the start weight of the last 100. Gaining a pound (or more) each 100 has to stop for me. I work on my feet and this extra weight is giving me all sorts of problems. Still, I have taken a nice NY cut striploin out of the freezer which I will have with some prawns tonight. I can't even remember the last time that I had a good steak. Looking forward to it. It went from 32c to 12c in one day here! I fear for my peppers and tomatoes.
    Day 2: Friday 6/16 - 144.4 - Burned many many calories and food was on point. Maybe it will take a few days to catch up? Or maybe I will blow it during this weekend's town festival lol.
    One of these days (years) I will be hitting what MFP always says. Here is yesterday's breakdown:

    kyj9bay2jnyz.png


    1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
    1st week actual weight: 144.4

    Day 3 Saturday June 17
    Day 4 Sunday June 18
    Day 5 Monday June 19
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21
    Day 8 Thursday June 22
    Day 9 Friday June 23

    2nd week goal weight:
    2nd week actual weight:

    Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.2

    I think that most of us on here have experienced what happens when we stop tracking.
    I myself did this, figuring that I knew the amounts. I had lost weight, but gained back 50 pounds before all was said and done.
    I am totally okay with journaling every bite for the rest of my life. For me, it takes soooo long to lose weight, but I can gain very quickly.

    Tracking is everything.

    I know that @deepwoodslady and @Lilylady3k can for sure relate to what happens when we stop tracking.

    @dawnbgethealthy Yes, tracking is the key to lasting success. Sometimes I get lazy or it's difficult to track (family owned restaurants etc.) but if I can track, I really need to stick to it. I have found that pre-tracking my day the night before or in the morning really helps me stay on track. If I get super hungry (super fast), I peek at my log and eat what's on it for the next meal or a snack. That is what really keeps me on track the most.

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ June 15, 2023 thru September 22, 2023
    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA


    145320379.png

    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


    Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:

    This shows the ending weights of each round:
    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6
    Round #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10---195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    Round #12---200.4
    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0

    Thoughts:

    1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
    4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

    Goal This Round: 179.0 (Sounds like a Dream but it’s about 5 pounds per month)
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.0
    Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
    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 01-06/15-196.4-(Trend weight 195.8)

    Day 02-06/16-195.4-(Trend weight 195.8) One pound down from the 2.5 lbs gained from the Pizza outing. I’ve pre-logged my food for the day which helps to keep my macros good, but it also helps me to overlook my choices to see if they will be healthy or beneficial in other ways besides satiety. I plan on getting some housecleaning done today which should help burn some calories. I babysit tomorrow and that always means lots of stairs as he plays mainly upstairs in his bedroom/playroom. So hopefully I will get in some better movement over the next couple of days as I’ve been very Lazy (with a capital L).

    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn. 5'2", 62 years old.
    My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.


    I am not cutting out any food groups, or anything at all really because I want weight loss to be sustainable for life. I have learned to have less of certain things, and have moved some other stuff to once per week or once per 3 months (Ribs, very fattening). If I thought that I couldn't have them at all I believe that it would be worse. For the most part I eat very healthy foods.
    I have had quite a bit of success since I started MFP October 28.18, but this past year has been an almost 15 pound gain after being in the 130s for 2 years.

    I love this long length of 100 days, and seeing how each week is going,

    I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
    Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6

    Best of luck to everyone.


    1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
    1st week actual weight: 144.4

    Day 3 Saturday June 17 - 142.2 - I was so busy with 2 jobs yesterday that I had a hard time getting food in. That was day 12 of 12 workdays in a row. I went grocery shopping at 8pm and Ribs were on sale. Yup, I ate a rack of Ribs last night. I was feeling very lean all day, leaner and leaner as the day went on. I wonder what my weight would be today had I not eaten Ribs. Soooo, that it is for Ribs for me for 3 more months. I used to eat them once per week, that was part of me ending up at 207 pounds, not ideal for 5'2". I really love Ribs, I might have even enjoyed them more since I no longer have them every week. The extra pounds might come over the next few days, or not since I have been mostly burning more calories than I ate over the past week. We'll see.
    Day 4 Sunday June 18
    Day 5 Monday June 19
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21
    Day 8 Thursday June 22
    Day 9 Friday June 23

    2nd week goal weight:
    2nd week actual weight:

    Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.2
