    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 43-07/27-194.6-(Trend weight 196.0)

    Day 44-07/28-194.8-(Trend weight 195.8) Just a slight fluctuation probably due to no TMI yesterday or this morning. This makes my weekly weight up by 0.4 but my trend weight has went way down from 197.0 to 195.8 this week which reflects how well I’ve done (most of) this week. Just trying to keep up the good habits and work on mini-goals as advised by that book. I’m not quite sure why I lost so much more weight last week than this week. I’m going over my logged foods and seeing that I ate less avocado this week and more starches (pasta or potatoes) although it all fit into my macros and allowances for both calories and carbs. How a diabetic handles these and stores this as fat makes a difference for me, even when I don't want to accept it. I will limit that this week and go back to my standard sides more often. I am also going to tweak my MFP goals again to get a better balance of calories/carbs. Logging everything and being able to look back on it really helps!

    WEEK 7 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.4 GAINED
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.8 GAINED

    Day 45-07/29-194.6-(Trend weight 195.7) Boy oh Boy was I EVER TEED OFF last night, and still yet today. I bought 3 cases of Lipton Green Tea Citrus for a refreshing drink in the heat. I have been drinking them off and on for a couple of weeks now. I THOUGHT I bought the diet version that I’ve bought before. Last night when my daughter picked up my DGS (after I babysat) I offered her some and she checked the label for aspartame which she is allergic to. The 2nd ingredient was sugar. REAL SUGAR. I had to see for myself, and I went through the roof! The 100 calories I could live with, but it had 33 carbs for the bottle. 33, my friends! That comes uncomfortably close to my goal for the entire day! How in the world did I buy the regular and not diet? Were they on the wrong spot on the shelf? Was I in that big of a hurry that I just didn’t pay attention? Luckily I love to eat my sweets, not drink them so I have not had one every day, but I have had one 2 or 3 times per week for weeks and weeks now. This may have caused a few of my stalls! It certainly has affected my glucose numbers. Anyway, I sent them all home with my daughter so she can sneak a little healthy green tea in from time to time. She’ll prolly take them to work as she works in a hot factory in Quality Control. I had one yesterday too, before I knew. Weight fluctuated back down so I’m grateful for that. However, I am still slightly up from the start of the challenge. Did this contribute? I’m still SEETHING!

    Day 45 – Saturday July 29: 168 56 days left in this challenge and I weigh more than when it started. Challenging myself keeping food jrnl for 49 of the next 56 days. Paddled yesterday; went to a remote lake in case I struggled to exit the kayak. Was able to lift my butt up ok; feel like this is a huge victory b/c it was my inability to exit kayak somewhat gracefully that was the final straw. Busy day ahead, out of town shopping, perhaps another kayak venture then get ready for working the next 3 days. Always a struggle falling asleep before midnight and hate starting my shifts feeling tired.

    My weight is down slightly and my trend is up slightly. Well this week didn’t show the scale going much lower and I know why. I’m not journaling and I’m hiding from myself not admitting to the snacking. Time to get that habit back under control. BABY STEPS

    @tinathescreamer - weighing with our without a towel would make a big difference especially if damp or not.
    I weigh in my PJs which might vary a little but mostly they are about all the same.
    At the doctor's office I weigh with clothes and shoes which sometimes means jeans which I know make a big difference so I usually step on the scale when leaving the house for the doctor's office to see how much the my scale varies from theirs.

    What about the rest of you?

    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: 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 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 45-07/29-194.6-(Trend weight 195.7)

    Day 46-07/30-194.2-(Trend weight 195.6)July has been pretty good to me. As of today, I have lost exactly 4 pounds in the month of July so far. My goal is always 5 pounds per month but I never seem to make it and most months I don’t even get close. So….I’m proud of my progress so far. I started working on our challenge #17 format and noticed that the challenge will end on EXACTLY the last day of the year. So challenge #18 will begin right on Jan 1st. How cool is that? I’ll have to look back at my records and tally a full year weight change at the end of #17.

    Day 47-07/31-193.8-(Trend weight 195.4) I lost 4.4 lbs in July. I’m pretty proud of that. I am still aiming for ANYTHING in the 180’s by Labor Day (early Sept) as my mini-challenge. As of right now, it is still very do-able. I just have to keep my sleeves rolled up and my hat on straight.

    Day 48-08/01-xxxxx-(Trend weight xxxxx) I’ve changed my goals to 4 pounds per month instead of 5. That is one even pound per week with the half week being allowed for normal fluctuations or special occasions or travel. Seems easier and more realistic. Good luck in this new month, my friends. I hope we can all take advantage of the rest of summer and make every choice count. I want the very best for all of you.

    I’m Teri
    Age 59, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 143.3 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-133 lbs
    Challenge 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!

    6th week result: 1.9 lb gain
    Overall challenge result (from 143.3): 1.5 lb gain


    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!
