Goal for the next 45 days: -10~15lbs --> down to 133.4~138.4lbs
Day 55 – Tuesday August 08 148.4
Day 56 – Wednesday August 09 148.0
Day 57 – Thursday August 10 148.2 - I've noticed whenever I first start drinking a good amount of water after a while of not doing so, the next day I usually gain a marginal amount of weight, but if I continue, it actually helps with my bloating and my weight goes down. Hopefully the same happens for tomorrow.
Day 58 – Friday August 11 147.2 - I think I was right.
9th week goal weight: 146.4
9th week actual weight: 147.2
9th week weight change: -1.2 lbs
Day 59 – Saturday August 12 146.0 - Came down with a fever last night so this loss makes sense. Hopefully I can start exercising soon once I make my full recovery from Covid and whatever stomach bug I have.
Day 60 – Sunday August 13 145.0 - Ngl this was kind of a shock to me, but it's honestly probably water weight and a result of me only drinking 2 cups of water yesterday, so I won't get my hopes up.
Day 61 – Monday August 14 145.0 - Glad I could keep it down.
Day 62 – Tuesday August 15 145.8
Day 63 – Wednesday August 16 146.4
Day 64 – Thursday August 17 146.2
Day 65 – Friday August 18 144.6 - Lightest I've been since early July :0
10th week goal weight: 145.2
10th week actual weight: 144.6
10th week weight change: -2.6lbs
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 143.4
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 142.8
Day 68 – Monday August 21 143.8
Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 144.6

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 17 – Saturday July 01 77 kg. Waist 33.5 ins. Hips 43.5 ins.
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 22 – Thursday July 06 76.8 kg. I am 65 today! Celebrated retirement by going to an Indian restaurant. Mmmm .... buttered naan bread ....
Day 23 – Friday July 07 76.4 kg. Today is Day 100 of tracking my food and exercise on MFP. I have lost 9.1 kg altogether (20 lbs). Jeans getting rather loose.
4th week goal weight: 76.5 kg
4th week actual weight: 76.4 kg. Made it!
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!
5th week goal weight: 75.5 kg
5th week actual weight: 75.5 kg. Go me!
Day 31 – Saturday July 15 75.9 kg
Day 32 – Sunday July 16 76.2 kg
Day 33 – Monday July 17 76 kg
Day 34 – Tuesday July 18 75.3 kg
Day 35 – Wednesday July 19 75.1 kg
Day 36 – Thursday July 20 74.9 kg. Waist 33 ins. Hips 42 ins. Yes! Down in the Healthy BMI range! Aim to get down to 22 BMI.
Day 37 – Friday July 21 74.8 kg Thinking of doing some weight training in order to replace fat with muscle and develop some upper body strength.
6th week goal weight: 75 kg
6th week actual weight: 74.8 kg
Day 38 – Saturday July 22 75.1 kg
Day 39 – Sunday July 23 74.9 kg
Day 40 – Monday July 24 75.1 kg
Day 41 – Tuesday July 25 74.9 kg. This feels like a plateau tho I'm still regularly below my net allowed calories.
Day 42 – Wednesday July 26 74.8 kg.
Day 43 – Thursday July 27 75 kg. Think I may be missing recording some calories somewhere. Need to be more vigilant.
Day 44 – Friday July 28 74.3 kg. Before MFP I weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) but managed to lose a fair bit of it even without tracking. Now I've lost over 25 kg (55 lbs) I tried on a cardigan I knitted for myself back then - and now it's enormous! I feel like the Saggy, Baggy Elephant wearing it. Off to the thrift store with it! I'll knit myself a new one after I've kept the weight off for a while.
7th week goal weight: Setting weekly goals doesn't do much for me, I find - just keeping my eye on the overall goal and celebrating various milestones as they occur.
7th week actual weight:
Day 45 – Saturday July 29 74.5 kg
Day 46 – Sunday July 30 75.1 kg. I made a start on decluttering today, after watching youtube videos. Two shopping bags of size 18 clothes donated - I swear on Peter Rabbit's lettuce I will never let myself get that big again. Size 14 now - would like to get back to 12.
Day 47 – Monday July 31 74.8 kg
Day 48 – Tuesday August 01 74.5 kg. Sometimes I weigh myself with a towel on. Sometimes I don't.
Day 49 – Wednesday August 02 74.2 kg.
Day 50 – Thursday August 03 74 kg. Yay! Halfway through the Challenge and I have lost 5 kg (11 lbs). Another 50 days left to lose the last 4 kg and I will beat goal!
Day 51 – Friday August 04 73.9 kg
8th week goal weight:
8th week actual weight:
Day 52 – Saturday August 05 73.8 kg
Day 53 – Sunday August 06 73.9 kg Got a lot of exercise today doing a massive declutter and clean. I can now pretty well fit all my clothes into one closet and one set of drawers. The bedroom looks way neater and I'm thinking of repainting the walls. I learned from You Tube about "depression rooms" - that's what I was living in.
Day 54 – Monday August 07 74 kg
Day 55 – Tuesday August 08 DNW
Day 56 – Wednesday August 09 74 kg. A little off track over the last 2 days as I was on a noho marae (overnight stay at the tribal meeting place) and it is famous for kai moana (seafood). I ate a lot! Also I learned to weave a bag for collecting shellfish, so I think I'm going to be eating more ...
Day 57 – Thursday August 10 74.5 kg
Day 58 – Friday August 11 73.9 kg. ....and when the weight was up, it was up. and when it was down, it was down. and when the number was the same at the end of the week - it was neither up nor down!
9th week goal weight:

Day 59 – Saturday August 12 74 kg. Only 6 weeks more in the Challenge! Focus, focus.

Day 62 – Tuesday August 15 73.3 kg. ....I think I can ..... I think I can ...
Day 63 – Wednesday August 16 73.2 kg ....getting closer ...
Day 64 – Thursday August 17 73 kg So close! Just 3 kg (6.6 lb) to go.
Day 65 – Friday August 18 73 kg

Day 68 – Monday August 21 72.8 kg
Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 72.8 kg
Day 70 – Wednesday August 23 73 kg - think I need to step up the walking more. On these cold winter mornings I've been catching the bus more frequently - especially since I received my Senior Card which gives me a discount on public transport.

@deepwoodslady
I hope that you aren't beating yourself up too much. You were making very good progress, and have kept 50 pounds off for a long time.
I understand that you feel like what you are doing is not sustainable and will look for a better strategy.
You will figure it out.
I don't believe that we can go through life and not sample some of our favourite things.
Going to a Fair and not sampling the faves does not seem right. Just don't eat an entire Funnel Cake of 1600 calories, just have a few bites?
I do think that we can limit the amount that we consume of them, and the frequency.
Deprivation usually backfires, so only lifestyle/eating habit change will be sustainable.
Finding substitutes is good. Cutting portions even slightly is good and adds up over time.
I have started having gum on hand so that when I want to continue snacking I at least have something in my mouth to keep me busy for a bit. Often after the gum I have closed the snacking window and feel satisfied.
We are all different and finding what works long term for us as individuals definitely takes some experimentation.
At the end of the day only we are responsible for looking after our bodies and health.

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: 3 out of the 6
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week (and the 100) at 144.4, so no change
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

Day 66 – Saturday August 19 - 142.6. Hmm, well, I didn't eat any fruit at all yesterday, I had eaten too much the day before and got a sore tummy. Or maybe all that fruit was waiting for a break to sweep everything out from me? Who knows. Also I have kept up with eating hummus each night after work before doing my legs up arm weights and then eating dinner. Hummus has lots of fibre and nutrients. Whatever it is, I am extremely happy to see this drop!
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 - 142.2 - I have decided not to take any shifts today. Yes, I was on track to work 24 straight, but I have so much to clean up around here and feel tired. 3rd job is now finished for the season. Very smoky here, so I will try to limit my outdoor time.
Day 68 – Monday August 21- 142.4 - Still smoky here, but cooling down a bit at least since we are not supposed to leave windows open because of the particulate. I did do a bit of work in the garden yesterday, just not a marathon.
Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 - 142.8 - Banner day, so not worried about this uptick.
Day 70 – Wednesday August 23 - 142.6 - Back to the beginning of the week weight. I like Sunday's better, but very very happy not to see 145 at all.
Day 71 – Thursday August 24
Day 72 – Friday August 25
11th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22
11th week actual weight: - Started the week at 142.6
I have decided to do yet 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 us for another 21?
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 3 - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1: 12.5" start, 11.75" end.
Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?
I have a mole, so it is easy to measure in exactly the same place.
(Thanks for the dates @deepwoodslady )
Day 01 – Tuesday Aug 07 - 7.5 - I use one 8lb weight for skull crushers, and 2X5lb weights for biceps and chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 08 – 8 minutes for my 3: skullcrushers, biceps, chest presses, 20 of each. Some days I am slower than others.
Day 03 - Aug 09 – 7 minutes for my 3. I see that my dates are off a bit, I have fixed that. I am posting these the day after.
Day 04 - Aug 10 - 8.25 minutes, and I thought that I was going slow. Still sticking with eating the 5 water crackers with Hummus when I get home so that it tides me over for enough time to do this, and then eat dinner after doing it.
Day 05 - Aug 11 – 8.5 minutes. My usual 3 exercises, 20 of each. The time flies so quickly with this endeavour.
Day 06 - Aug 12 – Missed. I worked fairly late at one job and had to get up very early for the next. I will try to double up at some point to make up for missing. 8.5 minutes on August 15 morning to make up for this.
Day 07 - Aug 13 - 8.5 of my usual. The skull crushers are the most important for batwings, but I think that the biceps will pull those up as well.
Day 08 - Aug 14 – 4.5 minutes of my usual, not sure why it was so quick lol.
Day 09 - Aug 15 – 6.5 - I have put a stack of pillows under my head recently so that I can get deeper with the batwing fighting skull crushers.
Day 10 - Aug 16 – 5.75 minutes. I feel like my feet and legs really needed it last night, the Dietary Aide job is very hot.
Day 11 - Aug 17 – 7.0 minutes of the 3 exercises
Day 12 - Aug 18 – 6.5 of the 3
Day 13 - Aug 19 – Skipped. My one elbow and shoulder from the same arm were sore. I think that it probably is from work at the Retirement/LTC place. I will see how it feels Sunday, I don't want to exacerbate it. I will likely catch up with extra sessions later in the week. Got one in to account for this day, 8.5 minutes of the 3
Day 14 - Aug 20 – Skipped with my sore elbow and shoulder. Of course I never skip Fitness Marshall, my day wouldn't go well if I did. I need it to wake up my brain and body each day. I will make up for this skipped day
Day 15 - Monday Aug 21 – 4.5 of the 3 exercises
Day 16 - Aug 22 – Missed. I will make it up plus one other to make up still. I will try to get those in today. Not sure what is up with my elbow and shoulder, but certain things at work seem to bring it on. Got lots of Fitness Marshall songs in plus some yard stuff.

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
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 #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: 182.0 (Sounds like a Dream but it’s 4 pounds per month)
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.0
Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 4 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 70-08/23-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I will weigh in tomorrow. I just needed this one buffer day at home to stick to plan and mitigate the damage from all the travel and festivities. I received confusing news at the cancer appts yesterday. They have found calcifications in my left breast (the cancer free one). While some calcifications can be normal in women, it is a concern due to my cancer history. They are not recommending a biopsy just yet which is good news. But they do want another mammogram in 6 months instead of a year to follow any changes or growth. So now, 6 months of worry. I should have just had them both lopped off with the original cancer but I had 3 kids still in school at the time and my hubby was very sick with constant travel for dialysis. Honestly there was no time for me as it would have required so much travel and processes. And I likely still would have needed the chemo anyway. I’m thinking about seeing a breast surgeon now and just get it over with. This is draining. Anyway, today is National Prayer Day so maybe you guys can say one for me.

Day 55 – Tuesday August 08 148.4
Day 56 – Wednesday August 09 148.0
Day 57 – Thursday August 10 148.2 - I've noticed whenever I first start drinking a good amount of water after a while of not doing so, the next day I usually gain a marginal amount of weight, but if I continue, it actually helps with my bloating and my weight goes down. Hopefully the same happens for tomorrow.
Day 58 – Friday August 11 147.2 - I think I was right.
9th week goal weight: 146.4
9th week actual weight: 147.2
9th week weight change: -1.2 lbs
Day 59 – Saturday August 12 146.0 - Came down with a fever last night so this loss makes sense. Hopefully I can start exercising soon once I make my full recovery from Covid and whatever stomach bug I have.
Day 60 – Sunday August 13 145.0 - Ngl this was kind of a shock to me, but it's honestly probably water weight and a result of me only drinking 2 cups of water yesterday, so I won't get my hopes up.
Day 61 – Monday August 14 145.0 - Glad I could keep it down.

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: 3 out of the 6
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week (and the 100) at 144.4, so no change
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, so gained 0.4 this week
5th week goal weight: 142.6
5th week actual weight: 143.2 - Started the week at 143.6, so lost 0.4
6th week goal weight: 142.4
6th week actual weight: 144.0 - Started the week at 143.4, so gained 0.6
7th week goal weight: 142.6
7th week actual weight: 143.6 - Started the week at 143.6, so stayed the same
8th week goal weight:
8th week actual weight: 144.8 - I kept track even though I wasn't posting on forums. Started the week at 144.8, so stayed the same
9th week goal weight:
9th week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 144.4, so gained 0.2 this week
10th week goal weight: Less than my 100 day start weight of 144.4. Lets say 142.4
10th week actual weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.4
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 - 142.6. Hmm, well, I didn't eat any fruit at all yesterday, I had eaten too much the day before and got a sore tummy. Or maybe all that fruit was waiting for a break to sweep everything out from me? Who knows. Also I have kept up with eating hummus each night after work before doing my legs up arm weights and then eating dinner. Hummus has lots of fibre and nutrients. Whatever it is, I am extremely happy to see this drop!
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 - 142.2 - I have decided not to take any shifts today. Yes, I was on track to work 24 straight, but I have so much to clean up around here and feel tired. 3rd job is now finished for the season. Very smoky here, so I will try to limit my outdoor time.
Day 68 – Monday August 21- 142.4 - Still smoky here, but cooling down a bit at least since we are not supposed to leave windows open because of the particulate. I did do a bit of work in the garden yesterday, just not a marathon.
Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 - 142.8 - Banner day, so not worried about this uptick.
Day 70 – Wednesday August 23 - 142.6 - Back to the beginning of the week weight. I like Sunday's better, but very very happy not to see 145 at all.
Day 71 – Thursday August 24 - 143.2 - Another banner day, but somehow showing a gain. Maybe I will have a woosh tomorrow. I did have fruit the last couple of days and no rice. Planning on fruit (fresh cherries, 15-20) again today, if I gain so be it.
Day 72 – Friday August 25
11th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22
11th week actual weight: - Started the week at 142.6
I have decided to do yet 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 us for another 21?
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 3 - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1: 12.5" start, 11.75" end.
Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?
I have a mole, so it is easy to measure in exactly the same place.
(Thanks for the dates @deepwoodslady )
Day 01 – Tuesday Aug 07 - 7.5 - I use one 8lb weight for skull crushers, and 2X5lb weights for biceps and chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 08 – 8 minutes for my 3: skullcrushers, biceps, chest presses, 20 of each. Some days I am slower than others.
Day 03 - Aug 09 – 7 minutes for my 3. I see that my dates are off a bit, I have fixed that. I am posting these the day after.
Day 04 - Aug 10 - 8.25 minutes, and I thought that I was going slow. Still sticking with eating the 5 water crackers with Hummus when I get home so that it tides me over for enough time to do this, and then eat dinner after doing it.
Day 05 - Aug 11 – 8.5 minutes. My usual 3 exercises, 20 of each. The time flies so quickly with this endeavour.
Day 06 - Aug 12 – Missed. I worked fairly late at one job and had to get up very early for the next. I will try to double up at some point to make up for missing. 8.5 minutes on August 15 morning to make up for this.
Day 07 - Aug 13 - 8.5 of my usual. The skull crushers are the most important for batwings, but I think that the biceps will pull those up as well.
Day 08 - Aug 14 – 4.5 minutes of my usual, not sure why it was so quick lol.
Day 09 - Aug 15 – 6.5 - I have put a stack of pillows under my head recently so that I can get deeper with the batwing fighting skull crushers.
Day 10 - Aug 16 – 5.75 minutes. I feel like my feet and legs really needed it last night, the Dietary Aide job is very hot.
Day 11 - Aug 17 – 7.0 minutes of the 3 exercises
Day 12 - Aug 18 – 6.5 of the 3
Day 13 - Aug 19 – Skipped. My one elbow and shoulder from the same arm were sore. I think that it probably is from work at the Retirement/LTC place. I will see how it feels Sunday, I don't want to exacerbate it. I will likely catch up with extra sessions later in the week. Got one in to account for this day, 8.5 minutes of the 3
Day 14 - Aug 20 – Skipped with my sore elbow and shoulder. Of course I never skip Fitness Marshall, my day wouldn't go well if I did. I need it to wake up my brain and body each day. I will make up for this skipped day. Made up for it, 8.5 minutes, the 3 times 20 reps each.
Day 15 - Monday Aug 21 – 4.5 of the 3 exercises
Day 16 - Aug 22 – Missed. I will make it up plus one other to make up still. I will try to get those in today. Not sure what is up with my elbow and shoulder, but certain things at work seem to bring it on. Got lots of Fitness Marshall songs in plus some yard stuff.
Day 17 - Aug 23 – 6.25 minutes, 20 reps each of the 3. I have one more to make up for still.
Day 18 - Aug 24 –
Day 19 - Aug 25 –
Day 20 - Aug 26 –
Day 21 = Aug 27 -
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.22 -
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
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 #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: 182.0 (Sounds like a Dream but it’s 4 pounds per month)
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.0
Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 4 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 70-08/23-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I will weigh in tomorrow. I just needed this one buffer day at home to stick to plan and mitigate the damage from all the travel and festivities. I received confusing news at the cancer appts yesterday. They have found calcifications in my left breast (the cancer free one). While some calcifications can be normal in women, it is a concern due to my cancer history. They are not recommending a biopsy just yet which is good news. But they do want another mammogram in 6 months instead of a year to follow any changes or growth. So now, 6 months of worry. I should have just had them both lopped off with the original cancer but I had 3 kids still in school at the time and my hubby was very sick with constant travel for dialysis. Honestly there was no time for me as it would have required so much travel and processes. And I likely still would have needed the chemo anyway. I’m thinking about seeing a breast surgeon now and just get it over with. This is draining. Anyway, today is National Prayer Day so maybe you guys can say one for me.
Day 71-08/24-195.4-(Trend weight 197.0) I am down 2.6 lbs from my last weigh-in. Boy-oh-Boy what a relief! I was hoping to see the probable water weight come off on this reading and I am very pleased. I just wasn’t in a state to see a higher weight another day. Now to take the ball and run with it since this is still higher than my lowest in August. Yesterday I worked on tweaking my calorie and carb goals with MFP. I am going to try to be a little less restrictive but still very mindful of carbs due to my T2D as well as its effectiveness for weight loss. I’ll keep working and tweaking until I find the sweet spot. I will be like a dog looking for a bone, I won’t give up and I’ll dig where I have to! I start babysitting tonight until Saturday night so that means constant interruptions in my ability to exercise but it also means lots of stairs on a steep staircase. I’m going to take advantage of being home and really watch my P’s and Q’s.

73 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

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 17 – Saturday July 01 77 kg. Waist 33.5 ins. Hips 43.5 ins.
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 22 – Thursday July 06 76.8 kg. I am 65 today! Celebrated retirement by going to an Indian restaurant. Mmmm .... buttered naan bread ....
Day 23 – Friday July 07 76.4 kg. Today is Day 100 of tracking my food and exercise on MFP. I have lost 9.1 kg altogether (20 lbs). Jeans getting rather loose.
4th week goal weight: 76.5 kg
4th week actual weight: 76.4 kg. Made it!
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!
5th week goal weight: 75.5 kg
5th week actual weight: 75.5 kg. Go me!

Day 32 – Sunday July 16 76.2 kg
Day 33 – Monday July 17 76 kg
Day 34 – Tuesday July 18 75.3 kg
Day 35 – Wednesday July 19 75.1 kg
Day 36 – Thursday July 20 74.9 kg. Waist 33 ins. Hips 42 ins. Yes! Down in the Healthy BMI range! Aim to get down to 22 BMI.
Day 37 – Friday July 21 74.8 kg Thinking of doing some weight training in order to replace fat with muscle and develop some upper body strength.
6th week goal weight: 75 kg
6th week actual weight: 74.8 kg
Day 38 – Saturday July 22 75.1 kg
Day 39 – Sunday July 23 74.9 kg
Day 40 – Monday July 24 75.1 kg
Day 41 – Tuesday July 25 74.9 kg. This feels like a plateau tho I'm still regularly below my net allowed calories.
Day 42 – Wednesday July 26 74.8 kg.
Day 43 – Thursday July 27 75 kg. Think I may be missing recording some calories somewhere. Need to be more vigilant.
Day 44 – Friday July 28 74.3 kg. Before MFP I weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) but managed to lose a fair bit of it even without tracking. Now I've lost over 25 kg (55 lbs) I tried on a cardigan I knitted for myself back then - and now it's enormous! I feel like the Saggy, Baggy Elephant wearing it. Off to the thrift store with it! I'll knit myself a new one after I've kept the weight off for a while.
7th week goal weight: Setting weekly goals doesn't do much for me, I find - just keeping my eye on the overall goal and celebrating various milestones as they occur.
7th week actual weight:
Day 45 – Saturday July 29 74.5 kg
Day 46 – Sunday July 30 75.1 kg. I made a start on decluttering today, after watching youtube videos. Two shopping bags of size 18 clothes donated - I swear on Peter Rabbit's lettuce I will never let myself get that big again. Size 14 now - would like to get back to 12.
Day 47 – Monday July 31 74.8 kg
Day 48 – Tuesday August 01 74.5 kg. Sometimes I weigh myself with a towel on. Sometimes I don't.
Day 49 – Wednesday August 02 74.2 kg.
Day 50 – Thursday August 03 74 kg. Yay! Halfway through the Challenge and I have lost 5 kg (11 lbs). Another 50 days left to lose the last 4 kg and I will beat goal!
Day 51 – Friday August 04 73.9 kg
8th week goal weight:
8th week actual weight:
Day 52 – Saturday August 05 73.8 kg
Day 53 – Sunday August 06 73.9 kg Got a lot of exercise today doing a massive declutter and clean. I can now pretty well fit all my clothes into one closet and one set of drawers. The bedroom looks way neater and I'm thinking of repainting the walls. I learned from You Tube about "depression rooms" - that's what I was living in.
Day 54 – Monday August 07 74 kg
Day 55 – Tuesday August 08 DNW
Day 56 – Wednesday August 09 74 kg. A little off track over the last 2 days as I was on a noho marae (overnight stay at the tribal meeting place) and it is famous for kai moana (seafood). I ate a lot! Also I learned to weave a bag for collecting shellfish, so I think I'm going to be eating more ...
Day 57 – Thursday August 10 74.5 kg
Day 58 – Friday August 11 73.9 kg. ....and when the weight was up, it was up. and when it was down, it was down. and when the number was the same at the end of the week - it was neither up nor down!
9th week goal weight:
9th week actual weight:
Day 59 – Saturday August 12 74 kg. Only 6 weeks more in the Challenge! Focus, focus.
Day 60 – Sunday August 13 73.8 kg

Day 62 – Tuesday August 15 73.3 kg. ....I think I can ..... I think I can ...
Day 63 – Wednesday August 16 73.2 kg ....getting closer ...
Day 64 – Thursday August 17 73 kg So close! Just 3 kg (6.6 lb) to go.
Day 65 – Friday August 18 73 kg

10th week actual weight:
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 72.9 kg

Day 68 – Monday August 21 72.8 kg
Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 72.8 kg
Day 70 – Wednesday August 23 73 kg - think I need to step up the walking more. On these cold winter mornings I've been catching the bus more frequently - especially since I received my Senior Card which gives me a discount on public transport.
Day 71 – Thursday August 24 73 kg
Day 72 – Friday August 25 73 kg. I have been on a thrift store diet for 30 days - except someone gave me some very nice gray yarn, but that doesn't count, right? .... I have also convinced myself that free calories don't count .... wonder why I'm stuck on this plateau?

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: 3 out of the 6
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week (and the 100) at 144.4, so no change
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, so gained 0.4 this week
5th week goal weight: 142.6
5th week actual weight: 143.2 - Started the week at 143.6, so lost 0.4
6th week goal weight: 142.4
6th week actual weight: 144.0 - Started the week at 143.4, so gained 0.6
7th week goal weight: 142.6
7th week actual weight: 143.6 - Started the week at 143.6, so stayed the same
8th week goal weight:
8th week actual weight: 144.8 - I kept track even though I wasn't posting on forums. Started the week at 144.8, so stayed the same
9th week goal weight:
9th week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 144.4, so gained 0.2 this week
10th week goal weight: Less than my 100 day start weight of 144.4. Lets say 142.4
10th week actual weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.4
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 - 142.6. Hmm, well, I didn't eat any fruit at all yesterday, I had eaten too much the day before and got a sore tummy. Or maybe all that fruit was waiting for a break to sweep everything out from me? Who knows. Also I have kept up with eating hummus each night after work before doing my legs up arm weights and then eating dinner. Hummus has lots of fibre and nutrients. Whatever it is, I am extremely happy to see this drop!
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 - 142.2 - I have decided not to take any shifts today. Yes, I was on track to work 24 straight, but I have so much to clean up around here and feel tired. 3rd job is now finished for the season. Very smoky here, so I will try to limit my outdoor time.
Day 68 – Monday August 21- 142.4 - Still smoky here, but cooling down a bit at least since we are not supposed to leave windows open because of the particulate. I did do a bit of work in the garden yesterday, just not a marathon.
Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 - 142.8 - Banner day, so not worried about this uptick.
Day 70 – Wednesday August 23 - 142.6 - Back to the beginning of the week weight. I like Sunday's better, but very very happy not to see 145 at all.
Day 71 – Thursday August 24 - 143.2 - Another banner day, but somehow showing a gain. Maybe I will have a woosh tomorrow. I did have fruit the last couple of days and no rice. Planning on fruit (fresh cherries, 15-20) again today, if I gain so be it.
Day 72 – Friday August 25 - 143.8 - Sigh
11th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22
11th week actual weight: - 143.8 Started the week at 142.6

12th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22
12th week actual weight:
I have decided to do yet 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 us for another 21?
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 3 - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1: 12.5" start, 11.75" end.
Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?
I have a mole, so it is easy to measure in exactly the same place.
(Thanks for the dates @deepwoodslady )
Day 01 – Tuesday Aug 07 - 7.5 - I use one 8lb weight for skull crushers, and 2X5lb weights for biceps and chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 08 – 8 minutes for my 3: skullcrushers, biceps, chest presses, 20 of each. Some days I am slower than others.
Day 03 - Aug 09 – 7 minutes for my 3. I see that my dates are off a bit, I have fixed that. I am posting these the day after.
Day 04 - Aug 10 - 8.25 minutes, and I thought that I was going slow. Still sticking with eating the 5 water crackers with Hummus when I get home so that it tides me over for enough time to do this, and then eat dinner after doing it.
Day 05 - Aug 11 – 8.5 minutes. My usual 3 exercises, 20 of each. The time flies so quickly with this endeavour.
Day 06 - Aug 12 – Missed. I worked fairly late at one job and had to get up very early for the next. I will try to double up at some point to make up for missing. 8.5 minutes on August 15 morning to make up for this.
Day 07 - Aug 13 - 8.5 of my usual. The skull crushers are the most important for batwings, but I think that the biceps will pull those up as well.
Day 08 - Aug 14 – 4.5 minutes of my usual, not sure why it was so quick lol.
Day 09 - Aug 15 – 6.5 - I have put a stack of pillows under my head recently so that I can get deeper with the batwing fighting skull crushers.
Day 10 - Aug 16 – 5.75 minutes. I feel like my feet and legs really needed it last night, the Dietary Aide job is very hot.
Day 11 - Aug 17 – 7.0 minutes of the 3 exercises
Day 12 - Aug 18 – 6.5 of the 3
Day 13 - Aug 19 – Skipped. My one elbow and shoulder from the same arm were sore. I think that it probably is from work at the Retirement/LTC place. I will see how it feels Sunday, I don't want to exacerbate it. I will likely catch up with extra sessions later in the week. Got one in to account for this day, 8.5 minutes of the 3
Day 14 - Aug 20 – 8.5 minutes, the 3 times 20 reps each. Made up for this skipped day with a sore elbow and shoulder.
Day 15 - Monday Aug 21 – 4.5 of the 3 exercises
Day 16 - Aug 22 – 5.1 made up for this missed day
Day 17 - Aug 23 – 6.25 minutes, 20 reps each of the 3. I have one more to make up for still.
Day 18 - Aug 24 – 10.2 minutes - Going to say 5.1 and put 5.1 on the day that I missed, the 22nd
Day 19 - Aug 25 –
Day 20 - Aug 26 –
Day 21 = Aug 27 -
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.23 -
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
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:

Round #3 --- 195.6
Round #4 --- 211.0
Round #5 --- 211.3
Round #6 --- 205.4

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: 182.0 (Sounds like a Dream but it’s 4 pounds per month)
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.0
Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 4 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 71-08/24-195.4-(Trend weight 197.0) I am down 2.6 lbs from my last weigh-in. Boy-oh-Boy what a relief! I was hoping to see the probable water weight come off on this reading and I am very pleased. I just wasn’t in a state to see a higher weight another day. Now to take the ball and run with it since this is still higher than my lowest in August. Yesterday I worked on tweaking my calorie and carb goals with MFP. I am going to try to be a little less restrictive but still very mindful of carbs due to my T2D as well as its effectiveness for weight loss. I’ll keep working and tweaking until I find the sweet spot. I will be like a dog looking for a bone, I won’t give up and I’ll dig where I have to! I start babysitting tonight until Saturday night so that means constant interruptions in my ability to exercise but it also means lots of stairs on a steep staircase. I’m going to take advantage of being home and really watch my P’s and Q’s.
Day 72-08/25-195.6-(Trend weight 196.8) Just a normal fluctuation in my weight. Dinner and snack was rather late so that could be it. I tweaked my MFP macros in the “Goals” section. I’m going to give it a few weeks and see if it helps my bingeing problem at all. I am trying to be less restrictive but still mindful/counting my calories and carbs at new amounts. We shall see. I have to keep an eye on my blood fasting numbers to make sure it is aligned with what I need to be accomplishing there too. It’s a science really and that was not my strongest subject in school! LOL. I am so tired of doing well for a few days, then going off my rocker, then back to doing well again…… over and over. I need to be able to sustain my weight loss efforts for longer periods of time. Especially when I am at home and in full control of my menus. Anyway, have a great day everyone! I will be babysitting DGS until tomorrow night and dealing with my handymen all the while.

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 55 – Tuesday August 08 148.4
Day 56 – Wednesday August 09 148.0
Day 57 – Thursday August 10 148.2 - I've noticed whenever I first start drinking a good amount of water after a while of not doing so, the next day I usually gain a marginal amount of weight, but if I continue, it actually helps with my bloating and my weight goes down. Hopefully the same happens for tomorrow.
Day 58 – Friday August 11 147.2 - I think I was right.
9th week goal weight: 146.4
9th week actual weight: 147.2
9th week weight change: -1.2 lbs
Day 59 – Saturday August 12 146.0 - Came down with a fever last night so this loss makes sense. Hopefully I can start exercising soon once I make my full recovery from Covid and whatever stomach bug I have.
Day 60 – Sunday August 13 145.0 - Ngl this was kind of a shock to me, but it's honestly probably water weight and a result of me only drinking 2 cups of water yesterday, so I won't get my hopes up.
Day 61 – Monday August 14 145.0 - Glad I could keep it down.
Day 62 – Tuesday August 15 145.8

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 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 43 – Thursday July 27 75 kg. Think I may be missing recording some calories somewhere. Need to be more vigilant.
Day 44 – Friday July 28 74.3 kg. Before MFP I weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) but managed to lose a fair bit of it even without tracking. Now I've lost over 25 kg (55 lbs) I tried on a cardigan I knitted for myself back then - and now it's enormous! I feel like the Saggy, Baggy Elephant wearing it. Off to the thrift store with it! I'll knit myself a new one after I've kept the weight off for a while.
7th week goal weight: Setting weekly goals doesn't do much for me, I find - just keeping my eye on the overall goal and celebrating various milestones as they occur.
7th week actual weight:
Day 45 – Saturday July 29 74.5 kg
Day 46 – Sunday July 30 75.1 kg. I made a start on decluttering today, after watching youtube videos. Two shopping bags of size 18 clothes donated - I swear on Peter Rabbit's lettuce I will never let myself get that big again. Size 14 now - would like to get back to 12.
Day 47 – Monday July 31 74.8 kg

Day 52 – Saturday August 05 73.8 kg
Day 53 – Sunday August 06 73.9 kg Got a lot of exercise today doing a massive declutter and clean. I can now pretty well fit all my clothes into one closet and one set of drawers. The bedroom looks way neater and I'm thinking of repainting the walls. I learned from You Tube about "depression rooms" - that's what I was living in.
Day 54 – Monday August 07 74 kg
Day 55 – Tuesday August 08 DNW
Day 56 – Wednesday August 09 74 kg. A little off track over the last 2 days as I was on a noho marae (overnight stay at the tribal meeting place) and it is famous for kai moana (seafood). I ate a lot! Also I learned to weave a bag for collecting shellfish, so I think I'm going to be eating more ...
Day 57 – Thursday August 10 74.5 kg
Day 58 – Friday August 11 73.9 kg. ....and when the weight was up, it was up. and when it was down, it was down. and when the number was the same at the end of the week - it was neither up nor down!

Day 69 – Tuesday August 22 72.8 kg
Day 70 – Wednesday August 23 73 kg - think I need to step up the walking more. On these cold winter mornings I've been catching the bus more frequently - especially since I received my Senior Card which gives me a discount on public transport.
Day 71 – Thursday August 24 73 kg
Day 72 – Friday August 25 73 kg. I have been on a thrift store diet for 30 days - except someone gave me some very nice gray yarn, but that doesn't count, right? .... I have also convinced myself that free calories don't count .... wonder why I'm stuck on this plateau?

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
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 #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: 182.0 (Sounds like a Dream but it’s 4 pounds per month)
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.0
Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 4 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 72-08/25-195.6-(Trend weight 196.0) Just a normal fluctuation in my weight. Dinner and snack was rather late so that could be it. I tweaked my MFP macros in the “Goals” section. I’m going to give it a few weeks and see if it helps my bingeing problem at all. I am trying to be less restrictive but still mindful/counting my calories and carbs at new amounts. We shall see. I have to keep an eye on my blood fasting numbers to make sure it is aligned with what I need to be accomplishing there too. It’s a science really and that was not my strongest subject in school! LOL. I am so tired of doing well for a few days, then going off my rocker, then back to doing well again…… over and over. I need to be able to sustain my weight loss efforts for longer periods of time. Especially when I am at home and in full control of my menus. Anyway, have a great day everyone! I will be babysitting DGS until tomorrow night and dealing with my handymen all the while.

Day 73-08/26-197.6-(Trend weight 196.9) WTH? Such a perfect day yesterday that I was actually expecting a whoosh! I am definitely having some TMI issues so I am going to try some Senna tea today to see if it will help. I mean, 2 lbs is a lotta crap (sorry for the pun!). The good news is that my fat content went down quite a bit. No sleep last night either and I mean zero, even on my fitbit. That never helps. I can’t help but feel disappointed. I’ll just try to look forward to sleep tonight and a better scale reading tomorrow. Babysitting again today.

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.

@deepwoodslady
Sometimes it takes 3 days for things to show up on the scale - in either direction.
Yes sleep or lack of it could definitely be the culprit. We burn fat during sleep apparently. Whatever we did during the day gets worked on by our bodies while we sleep. If we don't sleep we store more fat?
I am a lifelong poor sleeper, can't shut my brain down. I try to get 7 though.
Maybe this is the one and only change that you need to make in your lifestyle?
There are a gazillion references to the importance of this for health, and how the lack of it can do harm to our bodies and minds, make us gain and retain weight.
Chamomile, magnesium, melatonin or something?
Turn off screens?
https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/sleep_hygiene.html
Good clicks on that one, including chronic disease tab, better sleep tips tab etc.
The usual on the tips tab: dark room, remove all TVS and electronics (they emit stuff), exercise during the day, avoid caffeine close to bedtime, keep a normal bedtime, don't be hungry or too full....etc.
Sleep can be so illusive. I hope that you are able to fix this, weight loss might come naturally without as much effort if you can get a handle on your sleep.
Sorry to hear that you didn't sleep at all. That is awful and the whole day is a fog and unproductive. Been there.
Hugs

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: 3 out of the 6
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week (and the 100) at 144.4, so no change
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, so gained 0.4 this week
5th week goal weight: 142.6
5th week actual weight: 143.2 - Started the week at 143.6, so lost 0.4
6th week goal weight: 142.4
6th week actual weight: 144.0 - Started the week at 143.4, so gained 0.6
7th week goal weight: 142.6
7th week actual weight: 143.6 - Started the week at 143.6, so stayed the same
8th week goal weight:
8th week actual weight: 144.8 - I kept track even though I wasn't posting on forums. Started the week at 144.8, so stayed the same
9th week goal weight:
9th week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 144.4, so gained 0.2 this week
10th week goal weight: Less than my 100 day start weight of 144.4. Lets say 142.4
10th week actual weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.4
11th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22
11th week actual weight: - 143.8 Started the week at 142.6
Day 73 – Saturday August 26 - 142.4 - Kind of what I felt like yesterday even though I had jumped up a pound and a half somehow. Ate my first ripe tomato, many more on the 2 plants that will be ripening each day. Planning on a tomato sandwich every single day : - ) Even though I am working 7 days per week, Saturday and Sunday for the next few weeks are only 4 hour shifts in the evenings at the retirement home. During the week I work 2 jobs each day (my 3rd job was seasonal and finished last week). I will get some full days off when I go away for my vacation around my birthday. Trying to enjoy my day and be productive even though it is looming that I need to go to work later. Mental.

12th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22
12th week actual weight:
I have decided to do yet 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 us for another 21?
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 3 - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1: 12.5" start, 11.75" end.
Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?
I have a mole, so it is easy to measure in exactly the same place.
(Thanks for the dates @deepwoodslady )
Day 01 – Tuesday Aug 07 - 7.5 - I use one 8lb weight for skull crushers, and 2X5lb weights for biceps and chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 08 – 8 minutes for my 3: skullcrushers, biceps, chest presses, 20 of each. Some days I am slower than others.
Day 03 - Aug 09 – 7 minutes for my 3. I see that my dates are off a bit, I have fixed that. I am posting these the day after.
Day 04 - Aug 10 - 8.25 minutes, and I thought that I was going slow. Still sticking with eating the 5 water crackers with Hummus when I get home so that it tides me over for enough time to do this, and then eat dinner after doing it.
Day 05 - Aug 11 – 8.5 minutes. My usual 3 exercises, 20 of each. The time flies so quickly with this endeavour.
Day 06 - Aug 12 – Missed. I worked fairly late at one job and had to get up very early for the next. I will try to double up at some point to make up for missing. 8.5 minutes on August 15 morning to make up for this.
Day 07 - Aug 13 - 8.5 of my usual. The skull crushers are the most important for batwings, but I think that the biceps will pull those up as well.
Day 08 - Aug 14 – 4.5 minutes of my usual, not sure why it was so quick lol.
Day 09 - Aug 15 – 6.5 - I have put a stack of pillows under my head recently so that I can get deeper with the batwing fighting skull crushers.
Day 10 - Aug 16 – 5.75 minutes. I feel like my feet and legs really needed it last night, the Dietary Aide job is very hot.
Day 11 - Aug 17 – 7.0 minutes of the 3 exercises
Day 12 - Aug 18 – 6.5 of the 3
Day 13 - Aug 19 – Skipped. My one elbow and shoulder from the same arm were sore. I think that it probably is from work at the Retirement/LTC place. I will see how it feels Sunday, I don't want to exacerbate it. I will likely catch up with extra sessions later in the week. Got one in to account for this day, 8.5 minutes of the 3
Day 14 - Aug 20 – 8.5 minutes, the 3 times 20 reps each. Made up for this skipped day with a sore elbow and shoulder.
Day 15 - Monday Aug 21 – 4.5 of the 3 exercises
Day 16 - Aug 22 – 5.1 made up for this missed day
Day 17 - Aug 23 – 6.25 minutes, 20 reps each of the 3. I have one more to make up for still.
Day 18 - Aug 24 – 10.2 minutes - Going to say 5.1 and put 5.1 on the day that I missed, the 22nd
Day 19 - Aug 25 – 8.5 - 20 reps of the 3. Feeling glad to have incorporated this into my day. I really do feel like my arms are tightening up, and didn't realize how great it would feel to drain my legs for 4+ minutes per day.
Day 20 - Aug 26 –
Day 21 = Aug 27 -
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.22 -
I’m Teri
Age 59, 5’4”
Challenge Starting Weight: 143.3 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-133 lbsChallenge Ending Weight:
Total Weight Loss for Challenge:
Day 1 Thursday June 15 -- 143.3
Day 2 Friday June 16 -- 142.1 – This is encouraging. Decrease is probably water retention from last week's heavy carb & sugar diet. Stayed in control with food intake yesterday. No exercise tho.
1st week goal weight: 142.3
1st week actual weight: 142.1
Day 3 Saturday June 17 142.4 -- Out for dinner and cocktails with friends last night. Stayed in control with minimum carbs, and sugar from 2 glasses of pinot grigio.
Day 4 Sunday June 18 142.5 – 3 days in the 142’s. Hope to be in the 141’s by tomorrow.
Day 5 Monday June 19 142.5
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 142.7 – Still hanging in the 142s. Leaving for a short trip on Thursday night. Won’t be weighing in from Fri – Sun. I just hope I can at least maintain my current weight. Next Mon / Tues will tell all.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 143.1 – Unnecessary carb intake yesterday. Need to put in a workout this afternoon.
Day 8 Thursday June 22 141.4 – Almost to my goal for this week. Stayed on course yesterday with what I ate, and had a workout session on my Peloton bike, as well as some upper body toning. I leave tonight for a long weekend trip to Oahu so won't be able to log my weight for the next 3 days. I’ll try my best to keep the carbs and sugar at a minimum. And will try to get some laps in at the hotel’s pool. But mainly I want to spend time with my daughter who goes to school there and to shop for some clothes as Maui is very limited on clothing stores these days.
Day 9 Friday June 23 –
2nd week goal weight: 141.1
2nd week actual weight: DNW [travel]
3rd/ Current week:
Day 10 Saturday June 24 DNW – [travel]
Day 11 Sunday June 25 DNW – [travel]
Day 12 Monday June 26 142.8 – So I gained a little over a pound since I last weighed (last Thurs). Tomorrow’s weight should show the final weight gained from my weekend travels… usually shows up about 2 days later. Back on the wagon today.
Day 13 Tuesday June 27 142.4 – Stayed in control with food yesterday and got a workout in (15-min kettlebells, 15-min core, 10-min peloton climb).
Day 14 Wednesday June 28 142.8 – I deserve this bump up. Gave in to sugar cravings yesterday and did not exercise.
Day 15 Thursday June 29 142.1 – Moderate consumption of sugar and potato chips yesterday, but I got a 50-min Peloton workout in which maybe kept the insulin spike in balance. I have one more day to lose a pound to put me at my goal weight for this week.
Day 16 Friday June 30 142.4 – Shucks, didn’t reach my weekly goal. Oh well, just keep going. Got a workout in yesterday: 20-min kettlebell, 10-min abs, and 15 min. Peloton ride. Had some unhealthy snacks (Oreos & potato chips) in the afternoon and a late, heavy dinner last night.
3rd week goal weight: 141.1
3rd week actual weight: 142.4
3rd week result: .4 lb loss
Overall challenge result: .9 lb loss
Week 4:
Day 17 – Saturday July 01 142.4
Day 18 – Sunday July 02 DNW
Day 19 – Monday July 03 DNW – Still need to work on my all or nothing tendency. Went to a party yesterday and enjoyed the food and desserts. I should have been satisfied and stopped there. But no, once I got home, I continued with the junk food. Why can’t I just be satisfied with an intermittent splurge? Why do I have to continue until I go to bed? The trigger is real. I have to find a way to balance food.
Day 20 – Tuesday July 04 144.6 – This gain is the consequence from the weekend. And tonight we celebrate the 4th of July with friends visiting from the East Coast. Oh boy. Here we go again, and mid-week nonetheless. Only portion control will save me. Happy Independence Day everyone!
Day 21 – Wednesday July 5 143.5
Day 22 – Thursday July 06 DNW -- I overdid it this past week and just don’t want to be discouraged by the scale. I hope to have a more positive attitude about it tomorrow.
Day 23 – Friday July 07 144.8 – I deserve this. Ugh!

Day 38 – Saturday July 22: 143.6 I’m hoping to see a dip tomorrow as long as I stay on track today.
Day 39 – Sunday July 23: 143.3 Surprised at this small dip as I did have a high carb meal with wine last night. Tried not to overdo it on the portion size. Also, I fasted longer before my first meal of the day. Good balance. I’m back to the start weight of this challenge. Keep going.
Day 40 – Monday July 24: DNW
Day 41 – Tuesday July 25: 142.3 I need to work hard this week on eating well and exercise. We’re leaving on Friday to spend the weekend with my daughter to celebrate her 21st birthday. We will celebrate with food and drinks, no doubt!
