    @dawnbgethealthy I have not tried hummus. I have been eating a lot of avocado toast though. I will have to check with my little mom & pop grocery store (the only one within 60 miles) to see if they carry it. If not, I can pick some up the next time I'm out of town. BTW, I've never heard of water crackers.

    It is delicious and comes in quite a few flavours. I like the plain one best.
    Packed with nutrients, and very filling.

    Try to get more sleep than that GF, turn off screens?

    Wow, what a revelation about the MIO!
    Glad that you identified that.

    Our ongoing saga, small changes can make big differences.

    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 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

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

    2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week, 142.2
    2nd week actual weight: 142.6, so gained 0.4

    3rd week goal weight: 141.4
    3rd week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 142.4, so 1.8 pound gain this week

    4th week goal weight: 143.6
    4th week actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.6

    5th week goal weight: 142.6
    5th week actual weight: 143.2


    6th week goal weight: 142.4
    6th week actual weight: 144.0

    Day 38 – Saturday July 22 - 143.6 - Late to eat and late-ish to bed, early to rise. Kind of surprised to see a little drop, but of course I will take it.
    Day 39 – Sunday July 23 - 144.2 - Surprised to see a jump, I was feeling quite lean yesterday. Going to prelog the next few days, I can always edit if I eat less or more. I won't be altering it much, I will have little time so will eat what I have prepped.
    Day 40 – Monday July 24
    Day 41 – Tuesday July 25
    Day 42 – Wednesday July 26
    Day 43 – Thursday July 27
    Day 44 – Friday July 28

    7th week goal weight: 142.6
    7th week actual weight:

    I have decided to do another 21 day mini challenge of the legs up and arm weight exercises. The pulsating in my legs when I put them up shows me how much I really need to drain them regularly. And the extra bonus that I went from 12.5" on my upper arm down to 11.75" and honestly feel like my batwings are less flappy. I will count from the day before since I often type into here before any activity for the day, while drinking my coffee in the morning.
    Anyone else going to join me for another 21?

    Mini 21 day Challenge Round 2 - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
    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

    Day 1, Monday July 17.23 - 6 minutes, skull crushers, chest presses, bicep curls. I realize that the days that I missed (and made up for with doubles or triples) were days when I worked 2 jobs and got home late famished. I had 5 water crackers with 2tbsp of hummus to delay hunger for 6 minutes and had dinner after doing my legs up. Using 11.75" arm measurement as the beginning measure from the last day of the previous 21.
    Day 2 - 6 minutes which has shown to be the sweet spot to get 3 arm weighted exercises in.
    Day 3 - 6.5 minutes, must have done them slower because I was out of time before I finished.
    Day 4 - 5.5 minutes - Did the same exercises, must have done them faster!
    Day 5 - 6.5 minutes - I am happy that I am continuing on with my newest habit of 5 black pepper water crackers with hummus when I get home from work to stave off hunger so that I can get these legs up sessions in without being insanely hungry.
    Day 6 - 6.25 minutes - It feels really good to do this!



    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

    Well, I post in the mornings while having my coffee after weighing.

    This morning on another thread (I am only on 2 including this one) there was quite a discussion about Cardinals fighting themselves in windows or mirrors. Wow, just wow. They think that they are looking at a rival Cardinal. Apparently they don't let up. People have piped in from many different locations to report that they also have had encounters with this.
    I wonder if they do the same with their reflections in still ponds or lakes?

    Not really going anywhere with this, just sharing.
    Anybody here have any experiences with this?

    @dawnbgethealthy - I've definitely see Cardinals do this with our car mirrors around Texas and Louisiana.

    @dawnbgethealthy The turkey that come into my yard do this with the bumper of my truck. It's so funny to watch!

    Thank you for posting this challenge.
    I’ve been around the sun 76 times, live in B.C., Canada. I have some arthritic issues but push to remain physically active. I’ve struggled with slow to nil wt loss for many years; much easier to gain than to lose. Evening / nighttime snacking is my nemesis. Use WW points to track plus working thru Noom’s new book to break bad habits and build new ones. Love kayaking (follow lakeshores) and biking.
    Day 1 Thursday June 15th: 166.8
    Day 2 Friday June 16th: 166

    1st week goal weight: <165 revised on Tuesday to <166
    1st week actual weight: 166


    2nd week goal weight: 164 ( Mon, revised to 165)
    2nd week actual weight: 166.4

    3rd week goal weight: <165
    3rd week actual weight: 165.6

    4th week goal weight: 163.? <- not going to happen; will be happy with 166
    4th week actual weight: 165.8

    5th week goal weight: 166
    5th week actual weight: 167.6 no change

    6th week goal weight: 166.?
    6th week actual weight: 167.4 ( -0.2 )

    Day 38 – Saturday July 22: 166.4 Visited g/f ‘out at the lake’ yesterday. 2nd day w/o using MiO drink flavoring and no body / foot and ankle stiffness etc. Amazed at how quickly I’m feeling improvement. Going to check if I can exit my kayak somewhat gracefully now and if so, then will go out paddling for a bit. Planning a 100% “on plan” day.  didn’t happen

    Day 39 – Sunday July 23: 168.4 Feeling better, majority of aches and pain have vanished. Work went okay .. today’s staff rotation incl most of my fav peoples to work with. Tired after work but not fatigued like last week.

    Ultimate goal 70 kg
    Day 1 Thursday June 15 Already the 15th on my side of the world. 79 kg. I am at 25 BMI but my ethnicity calls for a lower BMI to get in a healthy weight range. Went for a 3 hour walk. went 1 cal over my net limit.
    Day 2 Friday June 16 79 kg. No loss but maintaining is better than gaining. Didn't do much today as I'm coming down with a cold.

    1st week goal weight: 78.8
    1st week actual weight:79 kg

    Day 3 Saturday June 17 78.8 kg
    Day 4 Sunday June 18 78.4 kg. still coughing quite badly and food doesn't taste great, so keeping the calories down.
    Day 5 Monday June 19 78 kg. 1 kilo in 5 days? Holy cow! I feel I'm eating enough. remind self that weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Prob this rate won't continue
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20 78 kg
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21 78.1 kg. Every day it isn't raining I go for at least a 60 min walk. While walking I look out for dropped coins. So far I have found 90 cents (US 54 cents) I plan to save it all and buy myself a non food treat at the end of the Challenge.
    Day 8 Thursday June 22 78 kg. Keeping the salt down - but it's fat I want to lose, not water.
    Day 9 Friday June 23 77.8 kg. Found $2 (US1.27) while walking. This week has def gone well.

    2nd week goal weight: 78.3 kg
    2nd week actual weight: 77.9 kg. Wow. Just wow. Don't know if this rate will continue, but I'll take the loss so far.

    Day 10 Saturday June 24 77.8 kg
    Day 11 Sunday June 25 78kg. Going in the wrong direction! So what did I do? Spent the day eating buttered toast and honey.
    Day 12 Monday June 26 77.8 kg. Feeling lazy today so bought some potato salad for lunch. The spuds were undercooked and the mayo so sweet my teeth almost fell out. Maybe my tastebuds are becoming accustomed to less sugar? I am trying to avoid sauces and dressings and just using herbs and spices in cooking.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 77.9 kg. Eating too much bread.
    Day 14 Wednesday June 28 77.5 kg. Raining today so didn't walk. Drinking a load of black coffee which acts as an appetite suppressant for me.
    Day 15 Thursday June 29 77.6 kg. Tried on a size 16D bra, was a little loose. Tried on an old 14C, was a bit too tight. How uncomfortable do I want to be until I lose a little more weight?
    Day 16 Friday June 30 77.4 kg

    3rd week goal weight: 77.2
    3rd week actual weight: 77.4 Didn't quite reach target but I'll take the loss anyway.

    Day 18 – Sunday July 02 76.8 kg. BMI 24.5. 2 more kilos to lose and I will be in the healthy range for my ethnicity. Hint - if you calculate BMI, use a calculator that takes into account age, gender and ethnicity, not just weight and height.
    Day 19 – Monday July 03 76.7 kg
    Day 20 – Tuesday July 04 76.5 kg - have lost a total of 9 kg (19.8 lbs) since starting MFP
    Day 21 – Wednesday July 05 76.7 kg

    Day 24 – Saturday July 08 76 kg! woot woot!
    Day 25 – Sunday July 09 76 kg
    Day 26 – Monday July 10 76.8 kg. Neighbor gave me a pot of homemade apricot jam. Note to self - pass on such future goodies to food pantry immediately instead of devouring jam sandwiches non stop ....
    Day 27 – Tuesday July 11 76.4 kg
    Day 28 – Wednesday July 12 76.2 kg
    Day 29 – Thursday July 13 76 kg. Tonight we celebrated Matariki, the Rising of the Seven Sisters (the Pleiades). I was very restrained at the feast, only a small portion of roast pork and sweet potato, no potato bread, and just one scoop of ice cream. Part of the invite required a contribution to the food pantry, so I found a box of cereal, a jar of honey, some other sweet stuff and a can of coconut milk to donate - I hope someone needs to put on weight!
    Day 30 – Friday July 14 75.5 kg! 3.5 kg lost in 30 days! Wow!

    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 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

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

    2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week, 142.2
    2nd week actual weight: 142.6, so gained 0.4

    3rd week goal weight: 141.4
    3rd week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 142.4, so 1.8 pound gain this week

    4th week goal weight: 143.6
    4th week actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.6

    5th week goal weight: 142.6
    5th week actual weight: 143.2

    6th week goal weight: 142.4
    6th week actual weight: 144.0

    Day 38 – Saturday July 22 - 143.6 - Late to eat and late-ish to bed, early to rise. Kind of surprised to see a little drop, but of course I will take it.
    Day 39 – Sunday July 23 - 144.2 - Surprised to see a jump, I was feeling quite lean yesterday. Going to prelog the next few days, I can always edit if I eat less or more. I won't be altering it much, I will have little time so will eat what I have prepped.
    Day 40 – Monday July 24 - 143.6 - Kind of hoping for a woosh.
    Day 41 – Tuesday July 25
    Day 42 – Wednesday July 26
    Day 43 – Thursday July 27
    Day 44 – Friday July 28

    7th week goal weight: 142.6
    7th week actual weight:

    I have decided to do another 21 day mini challenge of the legs up and arm weight exercises. The pulsating in my legs when I put them up shows me how much I really need to drain them regularly. And the extra bonus that I went from 12.5" on my upper arm down to 11.75" and honestly feel like my batwings are less flappy. I will count from the day before since I often type into here before any activity for the day, while drinking my coffee in the morning.
    Anyone else going to join me for another 21?

    Mini 21 day Challenge Round 2 - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
    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

    Day 1, Monday July 17.23 - 6 minutes, skull crushers, chest presses, bicep curls. I realize that the days that I missed (and made up for with doubles or triples) were days when I worked 2 jobs and got home late famished. I had 5 water crackers with 2tbsp of hummus to delay hunger for 6 minutes and had dinner after doing my legs up. Using 11.75" arm measurement as the beginning measure from the last day of the previous 21.
    Day 2 - 6 minutes which has shown to be the sweet spot to get 3 arm weighted exercises in.
    Day 3 - 6.5 minutes, must have done them slower because I was out of time before I finished.
    Day 4 - 5.5 minutes - Did the same exercises, must have done them faster!
    Day 5 - 6.5 minutes - I am happy that I am continuing on with my newest habit of 5 black pepper water crackers with hummus when I get home from work to stave off hunger so that I can get these legs up sessions in without being insanely hungry.
    Day 6 - 6.25 minutes - It feels really good to do this!
    Day 7 - 6.5 minutes - How lovely it will be to firm up the arms. Dancing has changed my abs in a big way and loosened my joints each day, but this...is different.



    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

    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.



    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

    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

    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.

    Day 39-07/23-195.2-(Trend weight 196.8) Got my strength training and exercising in good yesterday although most of it was in the evening and close together due to babysitting. I skipped the arm bands because they are actually the hardest part of strength training and it was all done just too close together. I’m not that strong yet lol. Measured my dominant (right) arm at 12.5”. It felt more like a vertical measurement that a round or horizontal one, if you know what I mean. But it is what it is. I think I have bat wings on my inner thighs too. The only time they look okay is when my legs are up draining (as Dawn mentioned). I’m trying to do some regular exercises for all of it. It’s just deflated skin in these areas. Nothing useful to my body, no bones in it, no muscles, not even fat really. Just skin with nowhere to go, just hanging around. We’ll see what happens with some extra moderate exercise in these areas. I’m not sure what I can expect or hope for at age 63. It just doesn’t snap back like the old days.

    Strength Training Mini Challenge Round 2:
    I will continue to work on batwing arms and flabby thighs. I will also try to engage in some “floor” exercising to tighten stomach area. I will try to add in some “regular” exercise like walking or dancing, or the exercise bike AT LEAST 5 days a week. This is not my dream, it is my pledge.
