    @ptitejeanne - Welcome to our group! You definitely post your daily weigh ins but you can also post other info if you wish. In the past I've held myself accountable to journaling, exercise, positive behavior habits, etc. And many talk about their challenges for the day or week. Some post only their weight. Others post much more. It is entirely up to you!

    Currently there are only 4 pages so you can easily look back to skim what has been posted and then decide how you want to go forward with your own post. The first page (see the bottom of the page to move back to previous pages) has the normal format for the hundred days. Don't worry about starting over just jump right in where we are now!

    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.

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

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

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

    Female, Age 62, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 230.8 (6/14/2023)
    Challenge Goal: <219
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023)

    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Get out of the 230s!!!!!!
    * Recover lowest during round #15 226.2
    * Making below 225 stick
    * Into the teens again: <220
    * Less than I started year 2022: <209
    * Prior to Oct 2021 roadtrip damage: <206
    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

    My goal for 2023 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

    Day / Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Comments report day of steps & activity with notes from the day before

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

    Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
    I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
    Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - 6328 steps 2.4 miles Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off. No walk Friday to rest my knees.

    1st week goal weight: < 230
    1st week actual weight: 229.6
    1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2
    Challenge weight lost: 1.2
    Challenge weight to go: 10.6
    Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!
    Day / Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Comments report day of steps & activity with notes from the day before

    Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
    Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - Plans to weed more today as the garden got out of hand while we were on vacation. Better snacking day yesterday and pre-journaled my day with the exception of the veggies since I wasn’t sure what DIL had in mind as we celebrated Father’s Day with them last night. -836 remaining calories but my net carbs 84 for the day was great since they do Keto LOL

    Day 5: 6/19 - -
    Day 6: 6/20 - -
    Day 7: 6/21 - -
    Day 8: 6/22 - -
    Day 9: 6/23 - -

    2nd week goal weight: < 230 until I maintain it! Don’t let it slip back up into the 30s

    You can just copy and paste your last post to add to it each day. We generally post every day with our weight and thoughts. Height, age, goals are optional, but we mostly all put those into our posts that we copy to the next day.

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


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

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

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

    Best of luck to everyone.


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

    Day 3 Saturday June 17 - 142.2 - I was so busy with 2 jobs yesterday that I had a hard time getting food in. That was day 12 of 12 workdays in a row. I went grocery shopping at 8pm and Ribs were on sale. Yup, I ate a rack of Ribs last night. I was feeling very lean all day, leaner and leaner as the day went on. I wonder what my weight would be today had I not eaten Ribs. Soooo, that it is for Ribs for me for 3 more months. I used to eat them once per week, that was part of me ending up at 207 pounds, not ideal for 5'2". I really love Ribs, I might have even enjoyed them more since I no longer have them every week. The extra pounds might come over the next few days, or not since I have been mostly burning more calories than I ate over the past week. We'll see.
    Day 4 Sunday June 18 - 142.6 - Not too bad. I worked for hours digging in the yard yesterday, so burned a bunch of calories. Planning more yardwork for today, but at least the grass is all cut now : - )
    Day 5 Monday June 19
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21
    Day 8 Thursday June 22
    Day 9 Friday June 23

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

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

    I am sure that your sleep is out of whack after traveling.
    Also I remember how you were getting NO sleep basically when you were on those meds.

    Totally relate to the garden getting out of control - in my case because I had no days off for 12. I just had 2 days off and got a bunch done, but not enough. We are extremely windy right now, and dropped down in temperature severely. This day last year was 42c here, this morning it was 7c. Really not good at all for my garden.
    I am ready to reseed my lettuce bed amongst other things, but the gusty winds are preventing me from being able to do that.

    Due for a photo of your garden : - )
