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.

Day 89-09/11-192.4-(Trend weight 193.6) I kept to plan and made sure my calories and carbs were extra low yesterday and it paid off.

I got in some extra exercise yesterday too with 41 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT. Now, to have another good day.
Day 90-09/12-191.2-(Trend weight 193.4) I love it when you can have a day where you are strong. There is no hunger. The meals work out perfectly. The exercise is easy and goes quickly even though the same routine is usually tough. Yesterday was one of those days. I’m hoping for more of those for myself and for all of you too, my friends. Have a wonderfully strong day ya’ll.

I saw a blue button that said new post but when I clicked it, it said something about discussion, not challenge......
I did this once before but damn my stupid memory. If you need me to do this I'll need help/instructions.
Sorry for the trouble. Brain Fog......
I can't remember at the moment exactly, but the hardest thing for me was doing the dates. I will figure it out and let you know for sure : - )2 -
I heard a very interesting segment on the early morning radio show that I listen to while I have my coffee and type into here today.
It talked about how terrible sitting and reclining is for our blood pressures, cardio vascular health etc.
Blood pooling was mentioned, and this is something that Donna and I definitely experience.
The suggestion is that every hour you get up, do some jumping jacks, a few rounds of stairs, or a walk outside. Even those that have stand up desks should be stepping away from them each hour. Hmmm3 -
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, so gained .4 this week
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, so gained 1.2 this week
12th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22. Realistically, anything in the 141s would be great for this week
12th week actual weight: 144.4 ouch. Started the week at 142.4, so gained 2 pounds this week
13th week goal weight: 141.1
13th week actual weight: 143.0 - started the week at 143.8
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 - 143.8 - A jump up in weight, but for no reason, so I will count it as a fluctuation.
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 - 143.2 - Gosh, 12 days left of this 100! 141.1 takes me out of "overweight". My doc doesn't want me overweight. I feel like I will lose weight on vacation because I will have no stress and will hike lots. Having said that, I plan on Prosecco and other alcohol drinks while away, so we'll see. Here is a photo of a hike that I plan to do on my birthday, the 20th...
Day 89 – Monday September 11 - 144.6 - What???? Perfect day, but late dinner as it will be all week while I am working 2 jobs per day. Sigh. Not really interested in skipping dinner, I want to keep my nutrition up so that I can keep going.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 - 143.8 - Bouncing around. Very late dinner. I am getting that ankle injection again this coming Friday, so hopefully that will work so that I can hike every day on my birthday trip. I do realize that my increased weight is not helping. I am also feeling like I won't be making my goal to at least be the same as I was last September 20th, 138.1, which was up 7 pounds from the previous year. I was 141.1 on my 60th birthday, this will be my 63rd.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13
Day 92 – Thursday September 14
Day 93 – Friday September 15
14th week goal weight: 139.0
14th week actual weight:
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 4 - legs straight up with arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1, June 25.23 start: 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.
Round 3: 11.5" - Wow, a whole inch off of my upper arm since beginning this!!
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive habit.
Day 01, Monday August 28 – 6.5 minutes with legs straight up, 3 exercises X 20 reps: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 29 – 6 minutes - love to feel the burn! It usually starts around rep 14, so I feel like those last 6 of the 20 are where I am making some progress. I would be quite happy to lose 1/4 - 1/2 inch every 21 days. @deepwoodslady did you measure after the last 21 to see if it made a difference?
Day 03 - Aug 30 – 8.5 minutes. I was only on number 4 of skull crushers when I was feeling it. Those are the ones that I feel that I really need for the batwings.
Day 04 - Aug 31 – 8 minutes, the usual
Day 05 - Sept 01 – 4.5 minutes, the same exercises, I guess that I just go quicker sometimes?
Day 06 - Sept 02 – 6.5 of the 3. Yes Donna, the legs need to be straight up I believe, otherwise it will just pool. I used to just hold them up there for the extra core work of that, but I feel like I get more draining if I put them up against a wall or something.
Day 07 - Sept 03 – 10.07 - I normally just start a stopwatch and do my 3, sometimes it is longer than others.
Day 08 - Sept 04 – 5:45 - The 3, legs up against a wall.
Day 09 - Sept 05 – 6.5 of the 3, trying to incorporate some of those physio "nerve flossing" things on my ankles while doing it.
Day 10 - Sept 06 – 7.5 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 07 – 8.16 of the 3
Day 12 - Sept 08 – 6:25 of the 3 - we will be finished this just before I leave for my trip. Donna, do you remember which day we started round 1? And thanks to @Lilylady3k for this idea! My arms are still flappy, but I feel like not nearly as much.
Day 13 - Sept 09 – 8 minutes of the 3. We can start the next and overlap it into the next 100?
Day 14 - Sept 10 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 15 - Sept 11 – 5.45 minutes of the 3
Day 16 - Sept 12 –
Day 17 - Sept 13 –
Day 18 - Sept 14 –
Day 19 - Sept 15 –
Day 20 - Sept 16 –
Day 21 - Sept 17 –
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 -

@dawnbgethealthy Getting up and moving every hour is important to prevent blood clots (DTV's). Most fitness watches will alert you every hour that it's time to get up and move. I know my fitbit does.3 -
@dawnbgethealthy This is also a cause of deep vein thrombosis after long haul flights - long periods of just sitting. Experienced travelers know to get up and walk up and down the aisle regularly. Or just jiggle the legs in place.4

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 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 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 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 61 – Monday August 14 73.5 kg. 12 kilos down! Celebrated by having pizza -oops.
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 goal weight:
10th week actual weight:
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 72.9 kg
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 72.8 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?
11th week goal weight:
11th week actual weight:
Day 73 – Saturday August 26 72.9 Only 26 days to go .... think I'll make it to 72, which was my original goal, maybe not to 70 ....
Day 74 – Sunday August 27 72.9. Poured with rain all day so missed my daily walk for the first time in quite a few weeks. Spent the day knitted and didn't snack at all - I didn't want to get greasy, sticky fingers on my yarn.
Day 75 – Monday August 28 72.8 kg. I think I figured out the problem. I wanted to lose 0.5 kg a week, which is 550 cal a day below my TDEE. Initially MFP set my limit at 1280 cal a day. As I lost weight I needed less cal, so my limit gradually went down to 1210. However, MFP doesn't allow less than 1200 cal, so I've been sitting on 1210 for a while, BUT, as my weight has continued to go down, my TDEE has likewise gone down, and the gap between allowed calories and needed calories has narrowed to the point where I'm basically eating at maintenance. So my weight is remaining the same. The solution is either to lower the limit further (which MFP won't allow and it wouldn't be healthy for me anyway) OR increase my TDEE by increasing exercise, and NOT eat all the extra calories allowed - as I have been doing. I think I'll look around for second hand equipment, like a stationary bicycle, which I can use at home on cold mornings when I don't want to do a long walk.
Day 76 – Tuesday August 29 73 kg. I have found another reason for the weight .... inaccuracies! Thanx to other people also using the bathroom, the scale is liable to move position. And it shows different weights at different parts of the floor - I guess the floor is uneven. So I have to make sure it's always at the same point.... the question is: do I put it where it shows me my highest weight or my lowest?!! Also I need to visit the doctor soon, so will get weighed there and take that number as the most accurate (it's always higher there because I have clothes on, but better to over calculate than under)
Day 77 – Wednesday August 30 DNW. Got up late and had breakfast and coffee before remembering I hadn't weighed.... think this only the second day I've missed, so not too bad.... being very careful with intake as I feel tomorrow's weigh will reflect two days of eating.
Day 78 – Thursday August 31 72.5 kg. Yes! feel yesterday's self denial was worthwhile.
Day 79 – Friday September 01 72.6 kg.
12th week goal weight:
12th week actual weight:

Day 81 – Sunday September 03 72.5 kg
Day 82 – Monday September 04 72.3 kg
Day 83 – Tuesday September 05 72.2 kg
Day 84 – Wednesday September 06 72 kg! Reached the target I set at the start of the year! My aim is to spend the rest of this Challenge consolidating, ie not gaining, then lose a further two, maybe three kilos on the next Challenge.
Day 85 – Thursday September 07 72 kg (158.4 lb)
Day 86 – Friday September 08 72.2kg
13th week goal weight:
13th week actual weight:
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 72.5 kg. ...slow down, you're gaining fast, gotta make the weight loss last, looking for fun and feelin' groovy...
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 72.5 kg. too much bread
Day 89 – Monday September 11 72.4 kg. Today for the first time, someone asked me if I've lost weight .... Why, yes I have, thank you for noticing. A total of 13 kg (28.6 lb) over 6 months since I began using MFP. Now I am inspired to continue.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 72 kg. Walked across the campus today .... there had obviously been a whale of a party. Among a pile of empties I spotted .... a full can of beer! I haven't had a beer in over 3 years, so I snaffled it.... I'll drink it on a day when I've had plenty of exercise and I'm below my calorie limit.... I found a dollar a bit further on.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13 72 kg. Dances With Scales.

@deepwoodslady
I have been trying to send you a PM this morning, but it is not going through. Luckily I copied what I wrote because the mail option on MFP sometimes just doesn't work.
It keeps saying:
I will just copy it here:
Hi Donna : - )
I will be posting while away for sure.
You have to, when you get to Community, hit Categories, scroll quite a bit down to Challenges, then hit the “new post”
I have been working 2 jobs most days is all, and didn't have time to sit and do all of the dates.
If you can't get it to work I can start the challenge and copy over your dates. Let me know if you get it working.
We have a quite a few days left yet.
On the morning of the 18th I am doing an 8 hour drive, so after I post in the morning I will be "offline".
Hope that you are having a nice 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 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, so gained .4 this week
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, so gained 1.2 this week
12th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22. Realistically, anything in the 141s would be great for this week
12th week actual weight: 144.4 ouch. Started the week at 142.4, so gained 2 pounds this week
13th week goal weight: 141.1
13th week actual weight: 143.0 - started the week at 143.8
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 - 143.8 - A jump up in weight, but for no reason, so I will count it as a fluctuation.
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 - 143.2 - Gosh, 12 days left of this 100! 141.1 takes me out of "overweight". My doc doesn't want me overweight. I feel like I will lose weight on vacation because I will have no stress and will hike lots. Having said that, I plan on Prosecco and other alcohol drinks while away, so we'll see. Here is a photo of a hike that I plan to do on my birthday, the 20th...
Day 89 – Monday September 11 - 144.6 - What???? Perfect day, but late dinner as it will be all week while I am working 2 jobs per day. Sigh. Not really interested in skipping dinner, I want to keep my nutrition up so that I can keep going.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 - 143.8 - Bouncing around. Very late dinner. I am getting that ankle injection again this coming Friday, so hopefully that will work so that I can hike every day on my birthday trip. I do realize that my increased weight is not helping. I am also feeling like I won't be making my goal to at least be the same as I was last September 20th, 138.1, which was up 7 pounds from the previous year. I was 141.1 on my 60th birthday, this will be my 63rd.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13 - 141.6 - Oh!! Okay : - ) Is there still hope that I can at least be back to my 60th birthday weight of 141.1 if not my 62nd of 138.1? No way that I can get to my 61st birthday weight of 131.1 in this short amount of time. I made myself a rice bowl with peppers and onions out of my garden. Not for everyone I know, but rice for me is something that I should eat every day to sweep out my intestines? I put my travel scale into my suitcase already. I put it side by side with my scale that is also supposed to be portable but doesn't really work that well on other floors. There was a difference in the weight of the 2, and I did it 3 times with the same results. I will just have to use the one that I am taking for my first morning after arriving, travelling the whole day on September 18th and will weigh with my home scale that morning.
Day 92 – Thursday September 14
Day 93 – Friday September 15
14th week goal weight: 139.0
14th week actual weight:
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 4 - legs straight up with arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1, June 25.23 start: 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.
Round 3: 11.5" - Wow, a whole inch off of my upper arm since beginning this!!
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive habit.
Day 01, Monday August 28 – 6.5 minutes with legs straight up, 3 exercises X 20 reps: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 29 – 6 minutes - love to feel the burn! It usually starts around rep 14, so I feel like those last 6 of the 20 are where I am making some progress. I would be quite happy to lose 1/4 - 1/2 inch every 21 days. @deepwoodslady did you measure after the last 21 to see if it made a difference?
Day 03 - Aug 30 – 8.5 minutes. I was only on number 4 of skull crushers when I was feeling it. Those are the ones that I feel that I really need for the batwings.
Day 04 - Aug 31 – 8 minutes, the usual
Day 05 - Sept 01 – 4.5 minutes, the same exercises, I guess that I just go quicker sometimes?
Day 06 - Sept 02 – 6.5 of the 3. Yes Donna, the legs need to be straight up I believe, otherwise it will just pool. I used to just hold them up there for the extra core work of that, but I feel like I get more draining if I put them up against a wall or something.
Day 07 - Sept 03 – 10.07 - I normally just start a stopwatch and do my 3, sometimes it is longer than others.
Day 08 - Sept 04 – 5:45 - The 3, legs up against a wall.
Day 09 - Sept 05 – 6.5 of the 3, trying to incorporate some of those physio "nerve flossing" things on my ankles while doing it.
Day 10 - Sept 06 – 7.5 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 07 – 8.16 of the 3
Day 12 - Sept 08 – 6:25 of the 3 - we will be finished this just before I leave for my trip. Donna, do you remember which day we started round 1? And thanks to @Lilylady3k for this idea! My arms are still flappy, but I feel like not nearly as much.
Day 13 - Sept 09 – 8 minutes of the 3. We can start the next and overlap it into the next 100?
Day 14 - Sept 10 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 15 - Sept 11 – 5.45 minutes of the 3
Day 16 - Sept 12 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 17 - Sept 13 –
Day 18 - Sept 14 –
Day 19 - Sept 15 –
Day 20 - Sept 16 –
Day 21 - Sept 17 –
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 -
@dawnbgethealthy Here is the next 21 days so you can incorporate it into the next challenge:

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.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I could muster up some self-control?

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:
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 61 – Monday August 14 73.5 kg. 12 kilos down! Celebrated by having pizza -oops.
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 goal weight:
10th week actual weight:
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 72.9 kg
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 72.8 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?
11th week goal weight:
11th week actual weight:
Day 73 – Saturday August 26 72.9 Only 26 days to go .... think I'll make it to 72, which was my original goal, maybe not to 70 ....
Day 74 – Sunday August 27 72.9. Poured with rain all day so missed my daily walk for the first time in quite a few weeks. Spent the day knitted and didn't snack at all - I didn't want to get greasy, sticky fingers on my yarn.
Day 75 – Monday August 28 72.8 kg. I think I figured out the problem. I wanted to lose 0.5 kg a week, which is 550 cal a day below my TDEE. Initially MFP set my limit at 1280 cal a day. As I lost weight I needed less cal, so my limit gradually went down to 1210. However, MFP doesn't allow less than 1200 cal, so I've been sitting on 1210 for a while, BUT, as my weight has continued to go down, my TDEE has likewise gone down, and the gap between allowed calories and needed calories has narrowed to the point where I'm basically eating at maintenance. So my weight is remaining the same. The solution is either to lower the limit further (which MFP won't allow and it wouldn't be healthy for me anyway) OR increase my TDEE by increasing exercise, and NOT eat all the extra calories allowed - as I have been doing. I think I'll look around for second hand equipment, like a stationary bicycle, which I can use at home on cold mornings when I don't want to do a long walk.
Day 76 – Tuesday August 29 73 kg. I have found another reason for the weight .... inaccuracies! Thanx to other people also using the bathroom, the scale is liable to move position. And it shows different weights at different parts of the floor - I guess the floor is uneven. So I have to make sure it's always at the same point.... the question is: do I put it where it shows me my highest weight or my lowest?!! Also I need to visit the doctor soon, so will get weighed there and take that number as the most accurate (it's always higher there because I have clothes on, but better to over calculate than under)
Day 77 – Wednesday August 30 DNW. Got up late and had breakfast and coffee before remembering I hadn't weighed.... think this only the second day I've missed, so not too bad.... being very careful with intake as I feel tomorrow's weigh will reflect two days of eating.
Day 78 – Thursday August 31 72.5 kg. Yes! feel yesterday's self denial was worthwhile.
Day 79 – Friday September 01 72.6 kg.
12th week goal weight:
12th week actual weight:
Day 80 – Saturday September 02 72.6 kg
Day 81 – Sunday September 03 72.5 kg
Day 82 – Monday September 04 72.3 kg
Day 83 – Tuesday September 05 72.2 kg
Day 84 – Wednesday September 06 72 kg! Reached the target I set at the start of the year! My aim is to spend the rest of this Challenge consolidating, ie not gaining, then lose a further two, maybe three kilos on the next Challenge.
Day 85 – Thursday September 07 72 kg (158.4 lb)
Day 86 – Friday September 08 72.2kg
13th week goal weight:
13th week actual weight:
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 72.5 kg. ...slow down, you're gaining fast, gotta make the weight loss last, looking for fun and feelin' groovy...
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 72.5 kg. too much bread
Day 89 – Monday September 11 72.4 kg. Today for the first time, someone asked me if I've lost weight .... Why, yes I have, thank you for noticing. A total of 13 kg (28.6 lb) over 6 months since I began using MFP. Now I am inspired to continue.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 72 kg. Walked across the campus today .... there had obviously been a whale of a party. Among a pile of empties I spotted .... a full can of beer! I haven't had a beer in over 3 years, so I snaffled it.... I'll drink it on a day when I've had plenty of exercise and I'm below my calorie limit.... I found a dollar a bit further on.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13 72 kg. Dances With Scales.
Day 92 – Thursday September 14 71.9 kg. Can I drop to 71.5 over the next 8 days? That would be a total of 7.5 kg (16.5 lb) lost over 100 days .... already planning to drop to 67 kg in the next round....
Day 93 – Friday September 15

Thank you for this!2 -
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, so gained .4 this week
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, so gained 1.2 this week
12th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22. Realistically, anything in the 141s would be great for this week
12th week actual weight: 144.4 ouch. Started the week at 142.4, so gained 2 pounds this week
13th week goal weight: 141.1
13th week actual weight: 143.0 - started the week at 143.8
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 - 143.8 - A jump up in weight, but for no reason, so I will count it as a fluctuation.
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 - 143.2 - Gosh, 12 days left of this 100! 141.1 takes me out of "overweight". My doc doesn't want me overweight. I feel like I will lose weight on vacation because I will have no stress and will hike lots. Having said that, I plan on Prosecco and other alcohol drinks while away, so we'll see. Here is a photo of a hike that I plan to do on my birthday, the 20th...
Day 89 – Monday September 11 - 144.6 - What???? Perfect day, but late dinner as it will be all week while I am working 2 jobs per day. Sigh. Not really interested in skipping dinner, I want to keep my nutrition up so that I can keep going.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 - 143.8 - Bouncing around. Very late dinner. I am getting that ankle injection again this coming Friday, so hopefully that will work so that I can hike every day on my birthday trip. I do realize that my increased weight is not helping. I am also feeling like I won't be making my goal to at least be the same as I was last September 20th, 138.1, which was up 7 pounds from the previous year. I was 141.1 on my 60th birthday, this will be my 63rd.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13 - 141.6 - Oh!! Okay : - ) Is there still hope that I can at least be back to my 60th birthday weight of 141.1 if not my 62nd of 138.1? No way that I can get to my 61st birthday weight of 131.1 in this short amount of time. I made myself a rice bowl with peppers and onions out of my garden. Not for everyone I know, but rice for me is something that I should eat every day to sweep out my intestines? I put my travel scale into my suitcase already. I put it side by side with my scale that is also supposed to be portable but doesn't really work that well on other floors. There was a difference in the weight of the 2, and I did it 3 times with the same results. I will just have to use the one that I am taking for my first morning after arriving, travelling the whole day on September 18th and will weigh with my home scale that morning.
Day 92 – Thursday September 14 - 142.0 - Planning a bit of an indulgent Friday night. I have a friend coming in from Kimberley to help me get the garden covered with clear thick plastic before I leave for my trip. I will make Mojitos with my fresh mint. Another day today of 2 jobs, so a late dinner tonight again.
Day 93 – Friday September 15
14th week goal weight: 139.0
14th week actual weight:
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 4 - legs straight up with arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1, June 25.23 start: 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.
Round 3: 11.5" - Wow, a whole inch off of my upper arm since beginning this!!
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive habit.
Day 01, Monday August 28 – 6.5 minutes with legs straight up, 3 exercises X 20 reps: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 29 – 6 minutes - love to feel the burn! It usually starts around rep 14, so I feel like those last 6 of the 20 are where I am making some progress. I would be quite happy to lose 1/4 - 1/2 inch every 21 days. @deepwoodslady did you measure after the last 21 to see if it made a difference?
Day 03 - Aug 30 – 8.5 minutes. I was only on number 4 of skull crushers when I was feeling it. Those are the ones that I feel that I really need for the batwings.
Day 04 - Aug 31 – 8 minutes, the usual
Day 05 - Sept 01 – 4.5 minutes, the same exercises, I guess that I just go quicker sometimes?
Day 06 - Sept 02 – 6.5 of the 3. Yes Donna, the legs need to be straight up I believe, otherwise it will just pool. I used to just hold them up there for the extra core work of that, but I feel like I get more draining if I put them up against a wall or something.
Day 07 - Sept 03 – 10.07 - I normally just start a stopwatch and do my 3, sometimes it is longer than others.
Day 08 - Sept 04 – 5:45 - The 3, legs up against a wall.
Day 09 - Sept 05 – 6.5 of the 3, trying to incorporate some of those physio "nerve flossing" things on my ankles while doing it.
Day 10 - Sept 06 – 7.5 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 07 – 8.16 of the 3
Day 12 - Sept 08 – 6:25 of the 3 - we will be finished this just before I leave for my trip. Donna, do you remember which day we started round 1? And thanks to @Lilylady3k for this idea! My arms are still flappy, but I feel like not nearly as much.
Day 13 - Sept 09 – 8 minutes of the 3. We can start the next and overlap it into the next 100?
Day 14 - Sept 10 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 15 - Sept 11 – 5.45 minutes of the 3
Day 16 - Sept 12 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 17 - Sept 13 – 5:53 of the 3. This morning when I was waiting for my coffee to drip I was resting an elbow on the sink and put my hand on the resting arm and...that arm felt sort of muscular! I look forward to the measurement on the 17th : - )
Day 18 - Sept 14 –
Day 19 - Sept 15 –
Day 20 - Sept 16 –
Day 21 - Sept 17 –
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 -
14th Week:
Day 87 – Saturday September 09: 172.6 Difficult day. Hubby was in a manic mood so not much R&R. Personal victory – baked 8 doz cookies any only ‘tasted’ a few, avoided evening cookie feast. Yeah for me!!
Day 88 – Sunday September 10: 172.4 Paddled after work.
Day 89 – Monday September 11: 174.2 Have fallen behind doing meal / salad prep and scale shows it.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12: 173.4 Pretty tired today. Just getting thru the day. Feeling very overweight for my height.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13: 171.2 Today will be a better day, the sun is shining 😊
Day 92 – Thursday September 14: 171.2 Yesterday was one of those 10 hr non-stop days but held WW pts to <30. Plan is to try to weigh less tomorrow but it’ll be an early weigh in.
Day 93 – Friday September 15

Dawn, yes I kayak, guess you would call it flat water paddling instead of river kayaking. We do lakes and some slower moving streams. Traversing beaver dams is as exciting as we get, definitely no rapids etc. Have encountered some stormy rough waters, not scarey as we're seldom more than 50ft from shore but you have to pay attention.3

Thoughts:

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.

I also just need a break from this house. Kinda stuck here more often than usual during the renovations. It looks like a lovely early fall day out there.
Day 92-09/14-191.0-(Trend weight 192.9) Guess who went out of town, ordered from a restaurant, had a large ice cream cone with my son for dessert and DIDN’T GAIN EVEN AN OUNCE? Uh um, that would be ME! I’m so proud of me today! I ordered fish even though I really wanted a greasy burger, didn’t even eat half of my meal and allowed for a splurge ice cream cone in my macros so I could stay under. I don’t know if I can always accomplish this but I did yesterday and that’s what counts today. One day at a time, right? I think other things came together for me too: Good TMI, extra sleep last night and I stuck to a normal common healthy snack last night so as not to blow the rest of the day. Too tired to get in much exercise, but overall, I call this a definite successful travel day. That's big for me, my friends. I'm usually like a kid in a candy shop when I get to a real town with real choices!

Day 92. TH Sept 14: 161.43 -
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 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 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!

Day 39 – Sunday July 23 74.9 kg

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 61 – Monday August 14 73.5 kg. 12 kilos down! Celebrated by having pizza -oops.
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 goal weight:
10th week actual weight:
Day 66 – Saturday August 19 72.9 kg
Day 67 – Sunday August 20 72.8 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?
11th week goal weight:
11th week actual weight:
Day 73 – Saturday August 26 72.9 Only 26 days to go .... think I'll make it to 72, which was my original goal, maybe not to 70 ....
Day 74 – Sunday August 27 72.9. Poured with rain all day so missed my daily walk for the first time in quite a few weeks. Spent the day knitted and didn't snack at all - I didn't want to get greasy, sticky fingers on my yarn.
Day 75 – Monday August 28 72.8 kg. I think I figured out the problem. I wanted to lose 0.5 kg a week, which is 550 cal a day below my TDEE. Initially MFP set my limit at 1280 cal a day. As I lost weight I needed less cal, so my limit gradually went down to 1210. However, MFP doesn't allow less than 1200 cal, so I've been sitting on 1210 for a while, BUT, as my weight has continued to go down, my TDEE has likewise gone down, and the gap between allowed calories and needed calories has narrowed to the point where I'm basically eating at maintenance. So my weight is remaining the same. The solution is either to lower the limit further (which MFP won't allow and it wouldn't be healthy for me anyway) OR increase my TDEE by increasing exercise, and NOT eat all the extra calories allowed - as I have been doing. I think I'll look around for second hand equipment, like a stationary bicycle, which I can use at home on cold mornings when I don't want to do a long walk.
Day 76 – Tuesday August 29 73 kg. I have found another reason for the weight .... inaccuracies! Thanx to other people also using the bathroom, the scale is liable to move position. And it shows different weights at different parts of the floor - I guess the floor is uneven. So I have to make sure it's always at the same point.... the question is: do I put it where it shows me my highest weight or my lowest?!! Also I need to visit the doctor soon, so will get weighed there and take that number as the most accurate (it's always higher there because I have clothes on, but better to over calculate than under)
Day 77 – Wednesday August 30 DNW. Got up late and had breakfast and coffee before remembering I hadn't weighed.... think this only the second day I've missed, so not too bad.... being very careful with intake as I feel tomorrow's weigh will reflect two days of eating.
Day 78 – Thursday August 31 72.5 kg. Yes! feel yesterday's self denial was worthwhile.
Day 79 – Friday September 01 72.6 kg.

Day 82 – Monday September 04 72.3 kg
Day 83 – Tuesday September 05 72.2 kg
Day 84 – Wednesday September 06 72 kg! Reached the target I set at the start of the year! My aim is to spend the rest of this Challenge consolidating, ie not gaining, then lose a further two, maybe three kilos on the next Challenge.
Day 85 – Thursday September 07 72 kg (158.4 lb)
Day 86 – Friday September 08 72.2kg
13th week goal weight:
13th week actual weight:
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 72.5 kg. ...slow down, you're gaining fast, gotta make the weight loss last, looking for fun and feelin' groovy...
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 72.5 kg. too much bread
Day 89 – Monday September 11 72.4 kg. Today for the first time, someone asked me if I've lost weight .... Why, yes I have, thank you for noticing. A total of 13 kg (28.6 lb) over 6 months since I began using MFP. Now I am inspired to continue.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 72 kg. Walked across the campus today .... there had obviously been a whale of a party. Among a pile of empties I spotted .... a full can of beer! I haven't had a beer in over 3 years, so I snaffled it.... I'll drink it on a day when I've had plenty of exercise and I'm below my calorie limit.... I found a dollar a bit further on.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13 72 kg. Dances With Scales.
Day 92 – Thursday September 14 71.9 kg. Can I drop to 71.5 over the next 8 days? That would be a total of 7.5 kg (16.5 lb) lost over 100 days .... already planning to drop to 67 kg in the next round....
Day 93 – Friday September 15 71.8 kg.

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, so gained .4 this week
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, so gained 1.2 this week
12th week goal weight: Putting in 138.1 every week now to try to match last year's birthday weight of September 20.22. Realistically, anything in the 141s would be great for this week
12th week actual weight: 144.4 ouch. Started the week at 142.4, so gained 2 pounds this week
13th week goal weight: 141.1
13th week actual weight: 143.0 - started the week at 143.8
Day 87 – Saturday September 09 - 143.8 - A jump up in weight, but for no reason, so I will count it as a fluctuation.
Day 88 – Sunday September 10 - 143.2 - Gosh, 12 days left of this 100! 141.1 takes me out of "overweight". My doc doesn't want me overweight. I feel like I will lose weight on vacation because I will have no stress and will hike lots. Having said that, I plan on Prosecco and other alcohol drinks while away, so we'll see. Here is a photo of a hike that I plan to do on my birthday, the 20th...
Day 89 – Monday September 11 - 144.6 - What???? Perfect day, but late dinner as it will be all week while I am working 2 jobs per day. Sigh. Not really interested in skipping dinner, I want to keep my nutrition up so that I can keep going.
Day 90 – Tuesday September 12 - 143.8 - Bouncing around. Very late dinner. I am getting that ankle injection again this coming Friday, so hopefully that will work so that I can hike every day on my birthday trip. I do realize that my increased weight is not helping. I am also feeling like I won't be making my goal to at least be the same as I was last September 20th, 138.1, which was up 7 pounds from the previous year. I was 141.1 on my 60th birthday, this will be my 63rd.
Day 91 – Wednesday September 13 - 141.6 - Oh!! Okay : - ) Is there still hope that I can at least be back to my 60th birthday weight of 141.1 if not my 62nd of 138.1? No way that I can get to my 61st birthday weight of 131.1 in this short amount of time. I made myself a rice bowl with peppers and onions out of my garden. Not for everyone I know, but rice for me is something that I should eat every day to sweep out my intestines? I put my travel scale into my suitcase already. I put it side by side with my scale that is also supposed to be portable but doesn't really work that well on other floors. There was a difference in the weight of the 2, and I did it 3 times with the same results. I will just have to use the one that I am taking for my first morning after arriving, travelling the whole day on September 18th and will weigh with my home scale that morning.
Day 92 – Thursday September 14 - 142.0 - Planning a bit of an indulgent Friday night. I have a friend coming in from Kimberley to help me get the garden covered with clear thick plastic before I leave for my trip. I will make Mojitos with my fresh mint. Another day today of 2 jobs, so a late dinner tonight again.
Day 93 – Friday September 15 - 142.4 - I had a lovely salad from my garden for dinner, added a chicken breast. Getting the injection in my ankle this morning before work.
14th week goal weight: 139.0

15th (and final) week goal weight
15th (and final) actual weight:
Mini 21 day Challenge Round 4 - legs straight up with arm weights exercises, 6-ish minutes.
Round 1, June 25.23 start: 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.
Round 3: 11.5" - Wow, a whole inch off of my upper arm since beginning this!!
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive habit.
Day 01, Monday August 28 – 6.5 minutes with legs straight up, 3 exercises X 20 reps: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses.
Day 02 - Aug 29 – 6 minutes - love to feel the burn! It usually starts around rep 14, so I feel like those last 6 of the 20 are where I am making some progress. I would be quite happy to lose 1/4 - 1/2 inch every 21 days. @deepwoodslady did you measure after the last 21 to see if it made a difference?
Day 03 - Aug 30 – 8.5 minutes. I was only on number 4 of skull crushers when I was feeling it. Those are the ones that I feel that I really need for the batwings.
Day 04 - Aug 31 – 8 minutes, the usual
Day 05 - Sept 01 – 4.5 minutes, the same exercises, I guess that I just go quicker sometimes?
Day 06 - Sept 02 – 6.5 of the 3. Yes Donna, the legs need to be straight up I believe, otherwise it will just pool. I used to just hold them up there for the extra core work of that, but I feel like I get more draining if I put them up against a wall or something.
Day 07 - Sept 03 – 10.07 - I normally just start a stopwatch and do my 3, sometimes it is longer than others.
Day 08 - Sept 04 – 5:45 - The 3, legs up against a wall.
Day 09 - Sept 05 – 6.5 of the 3, trying to incorporate some of those physio "nerve flossing" things on my ankles while doing it.
Day 10 - Sept 06 – 7.5 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 07 – 8.16 of the 3
Day 12 - Sept 08 – 6:25 of the 3 - we will be finished this just before I leave for my trip. Donna, do you remember which day we started round 1? And thanks to @Lilylady3k for this idea! My arms are still flappy, but I feel like not nearly as much.
Day 13 - Sept 09 – 8 minutes of the 3. We can start the next and overlap it into the next 100?
Day 14 - Sept 10 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 15 - Sept 11 – 5.45 minutes of the 3
Day 16 - Sept 12 – 7 minutes of the 3
Day 17 - Sept 13 – 5:53 of the 3. This morning when I was waiting for my coffee to drip I was resting an elbow on the sink and put my hand on the resting arm and...that arm felt sort of muscular! I look forward to the measurement on the 17th : - )
Day 18 - Sept 14 – 7:07 of the 3 - Yes, I start a stopwatch as I begin. Legs up isolates the arms better I think.
Day 19 - Sept 15 –
Day 20 - Sept 16 –
Day 21 - Sept 17 –
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 -
@deepwoodslady
Be extra "good" for a few days, sometimes the indulgences take 3 days to show up right?
Kudos on traveling and making good food choices!
You are getting very close to those 180s : - )

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.

Day 92-09/14-191.0-(Trend weight 192.9) Guess who went out of town, ordered from a restaurant, had a large ice cream cone with my son for dessert and DIDN’T GAIN EVEN AN OUNCE? Uh um, that would be ME! I’m so proud of me today! I ordered fish even though I really wanted a greasy burger, didn’t even eat half of my meal and allowed for a splurge ice cream cone in my macros so I could stay under. I don’t know if I can always accomplish this but I did yesterday and that’s what counts today. One day at a time, right? I think other things came together for me too: Good TMI, extra sleep last night and I stuck to a normal common healthy snack last night so as not to blow the rest of the day. Too tired to get in much exercise, but overall, I call this a definite successful travel day. That's big for me, my friends. I'm usually like a kid in a candy shop when I get to a real town with real choices!
Day 93-09/15-189.2-(Trend weight 192.6) I FREAKED OUT when I saw the scale, I won’t lie. But I knew yesterday was an on target day but nothing extra special. The 180’s my friend by the skin of my teeth. 180’s!!!! Of course, you all know that I don’t consider myself in a new decade unless I hit the 7 (187 point anything) due to normal fluctuations that can land me up to two point anything pounds higher (like no TMI or sodium fluid retention). So I will bide my time, keep going and NOT practice my usual self-sabotage when I’ve seen progress. Happy Dancing here!
