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.

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)

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 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 - 5738 steps 2.27 miles 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 - 230.7 / 230.1 - 7852 steps 3.06 miles (walk 1.34) Let myself slip back into the 230s ARGH! Too much pie this weekend and no formal exercise since I’m resting my knees. Can’t seem to get enough sleep. 10 hrs of sleep during the night and still took an hour nap in the afternoon Sunday. Really good not snacking but did polish off the Father’s Day lemon meringue pie after lunch & dinner. Journaled everything again -151 remaining calories but feels worse than yesterday.
Day 6: 6/20 - 230.4 / 230.2 - 4209 steps 1.63 miles. No gardening or exercise. Avoided journaling yesterday but finally came to terms with it. Lunch out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant which never helps the scale and of course is hard to journal. I didn’t eat the whole basket of chips! Counted out 12
-548 remaining calories. Not excited that my weight is in the 230s and that my trend line is going up! Need to quit resting my aching knees.
Day 7: 6/21 - 229.9 / 230.2 - 10024 steps 3.77 miles (2.81 mi walk) Today I plan to walk!! I'm also going to help DD prep for my granddaughter's first birthday party on Saturday before heading to book club tonight at a Mexican restaurant. I did my mammogram and went to watercolor class yesterday. Great day on snacking but fast food for lunch and too much wine watching LSU baseball. -457 remaining calories.
Day 8: 6/22 - 230.2 - / 230.2 SODIUM?? DH & I talked … I think I’m going to not walk for a while because I barely made it home yesterday and my knees are worse. So instead the plan is to build up strength in my knees with on my indoor bike for the next month. It will be a lot less pounding than walking. Yesterday at book club I planned to eat a salad at the Mexican restaurant but chose half order of chicken quesadillas. -315 remaining calories.
Day 9: 6/23 - -
2nd week goal weight: < 230 until I maintain it! Don’t let it slip back up into the 30s

@Lynn__W
Looking forward to hearing about where you get to on your road trip/camping.

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 - 144.0 - Not happy to see that number, hopefully tomorrow will be different. This could be fallout from Ribs on Friday.
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 - 143.2 - Glad to see a little drop. Can I get back to the beginning of the week weight in 3 days?
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 - 144.4 - I didn't take the time to post to forums
Day 8 Thursday June 22 - 142.6 - I have dinner prepped and logged. Record low temperatures here, almost 40c less than last year at this time. Yesterday was the beginning of summer? So nervous about my peppers and tomatoes. Hate these extreme weather fluctuations, very deflating to a gardener.
Day 9 Friday June 23
2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week 142.2
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 142.24 -

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.

You were taking the water pills due to high blood pressure I thought. Did the heart doctor take you off the water pill or the nutritionist? Were they concerned about ongoing usage damaging your kidneys?
Keep drinking that water!!! And if possible put your feet up higher than your heart to reduce the swelling at least once per day.
@lilylady3k It was actually the endocrinologist who took me off them (even though my cardiologist had put me on). It is to protect my kidney's. He said the water pill would be his 4th or even 5th line of defense due to my uncontrolled diabetes.
The swelling occurs in my ankles and my abdomen (which is very common on both counts). It is very uncomfortable in the belly and with clothing. The ankles are very very tight. They actually don't look as bad as they feel. It's horrid. Thanks so much for the tip about putting them up each day. The doctor did not give me any ideas on what to do when the swelling starts. I am watching my sodium content (at least when I'm home). I do not drink enough water because I am a coffee hog. I drink it black but they still say coffee don't count as water since it's actually dehydrating. Off I go to put up my feet.....thanks again!3 -
@Lynn_W Yes, Yes, Yes to re-dedicating ourselves at 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM. I truly do wonderfully all day (unless traveling and eating at restaurants). It's that bewitching evening hour when the TV comes on and the inhibitions set in. Here's to rededication!3

I’ll try pushing water today again. I had my truck repair appointment out-of-town at the dealership wrong. It wasn’t Monday, it is tomorrow. Luckily my daughter has her head on straight and we didn’t go. LOL. Today I take my teen grandson’s for their haircuts at my salon. Lunch afterwards. Since I’ll be out of town tomorrow for that 7 hour repair and 3 hour total drive, I’ll skip lunch today and just watch them eat.
06/22-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I traveled today for the truck repairs. I hit the coffee hard before I remembered to weigh and didn’t have any time to post before travel. It’s been a long day. Tomorrow’s scale will likely be a morale zapper as it is usually up after travel. I may skip weighing and just check in as I’ve found that looking doesn’t change anything. It may even make it worse. So we will see.

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 07-06/21-196.6-(Trend weight 196.2) I Stayed the course yesterday. Ankles feel so tight without the waterpills. I can feel fluid retention that I can’t do much about. I’ll try pushing water today again. I had my truck repair appointment out-of-town at the dealership wrong. It wasn’t Monday, it is tomorrow. Luckily my daughter has her head on straight and we didn’t go. LOL. Today I take my teen grandson’s for their haircuts at my salon. Lunch afterwards. Since I’ll be out of town tomorrow for that 7 hour repair and 3 hour total drive, I’ll skip lunch today and just watch them eat.
Day 08-06/22-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I traveled today for the truck repairs. I hit the coffee hard before I remembered to weigh and didn’t have any time to post before travel. It’s been a long day. Tomorrow’s scale will likely be a morale zapper as it is usually up after travel. I may skip weighing and just check in as I’ve found that looking doesn’t change anything. It may even make it worse. So we will see.

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

Day 4 Sunday June 18: 167.8
Day 5 Monday June 19: 168.8
Day 6 Tuesday June 20: 168 June 20th: 168.8, down .8 from yesterday. Our temps have tanked with north wind all day. And ohhh, but my aching hip by the end of work. It affected the rest of my day. Once again food journal is blank by mid afternoon. Today will write it as I eat it rather than 'keeping track in my head'. My weight does this loop, where it's lowest by Friday, then creeps back up thru the weekend, and usually is highest Monday. The next two weeks will be challenging as I have extra shifts, then it's road trip and possibly a few days camping. Praying these hip issues settle as they've already taken me out of my biking plans on the long weekend.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21: 167.6 Today’s focus is maintaining this loss. 1 egg + 1 white instead of 2 eggs, 1 ½ slices WW toast instead of 2 etc.
Day 8 Thursday June 22: 166.2 Avoided breads. Journaled everything eaten yesterday. Avoided any real activity yesterday, heating pad was my best friend. Feeling much more comfortable today. Today’s focus will be breaking the ‘regaining a pound or two thru the weekend’ cycle. Mowed lawn for exercise; veggies and water.

Another day. Another step towards better health
***
Day 5 Monday June 19: 80.2 kg: This is my most stagnant weight. Its so hard to break the jinx. It was a normal easy yoga day for me and I didnt try to overdo as I was super tired.
Day 6 Tuesday June 20: ***: I didnt check my weight today. For workout I did chest and triceps. 5 exercises with progressive overload (whenever possible) 3 reps of 12 each. Plus 3 exercises of triceps with progressive overload (whenever possible) 3 reps of 12 each.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21: 78.2 kg: I am not sure if this is actual weight loss or mere water weight deflection. I would only believe this if i can sustain this till next week. For workout I did intense back workout. With over 6 exercises plus deadlift where I hit my PR of 30kg deadlift. Long way to go as I couldnt do a lot of reps. I did good stretch post that because my back muscles are not as strong as I want them to be. They can pain a lot.
Day 8 Thursday June 22: 79.8 kg: We did a thorough calibrated weight check today at work. I am excited to see if I dropped any fat and built muscle. But i am not too disappointed with this weight. I can feel lighter already with little to no bloating. It was yoga day and we did some couple yoga workouts plus some intense leg yoga poses. After that i did a routine bicep workout with 4 exercises, 3 reps of 10-12 each. Tried progressive overloading in one workout because I am focusing on form and you can do bicep way too wrong. Was thinking of ordering chicken salad but made meal at home, successful day, eating under my calorie need and leaving room for oils and condiments.
Day 9 Friday June 23: 79.3 kg: I had a little more in breakfast than i usually do because had to wake up early for some work. I have an intense workout day today because its leg day and will try to do shoulders too because i miss shoulder day too often. My target for this week is to not see 80 again on the weighing scale.
Day 9 Friday June 235 -
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.

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 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 - 5738 steps 2.27 miles 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 - 230.7 / 230.1 - 7852 steps 3.06 miles (walk 1.34) Let myself slip back into the 230s ARGH! Too much pie this weekend and no formal exercise since I’m resting my knees. Can’t seem to get enough sleep. 10 hrs of sleep during the night and still took an hour nap in the afternoon Sunday. Really good not snacking but did polish off the Father’s Day lemon meringue pie after lunch & dinner. Journaled everything again -151 remaining calories but feels worse than yesterday.
Day 6: 6/20 - 230.4 / 230.2 - 4209 steps 1.63 miles. No gardening or exercise. Avoided journaling yesterday but finally came to terms with it. Lunch out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant which never helps the scale and of course is hard to journal. I didn’t eat the whole basket of chips! Counted out 12 -548 remaining calories. Not excited that my weight is in the 230s and that my trend line is going up! Need to quit resting my aching knees.
Day 7: 6/21 - 229.9 / 230.2 - 10024 steps 3.77 miles (2.81 mi walk) Today I plan to walk!! I'm also going to help DD prep for my granddaughter's first birthday party on Saturday before heading to book club tonight at a Mexican restaurant. I did my mammogram and went to watercolor class yesterday. Great day on snacking but fast food for lunch and too much wine watching LSU baseball. -457 remaining calories.
Day 8: 6/22 - 230.2 / 230.2 - 4795 steps 1.91 miles SODIUM?? DH & I talked … I think I’m going to not walk for a while because I barely made it home yesterday and my knees are worse. So instead the plan is to build up strength in my knees with on my indoor bike for the next month. It will be a lot less pounding than walking. Yesterday at book club I planned to eat a salad at the Mexican restaurant but chose half order of chicken quesadillas. -315 remaining calories.
Day 9: 6/23 - 228.6 / 229.7 - Sporting clays with Lady Clay Shooters Summer League now on Thursdays in this darn heat for 1.5 hrs! Fun but I’m a terrible shot since I’ve not gone shooting for a year. But I did walk the course to the 10 stations even though I was offered to ride in a friend’s golf cart. AF when I got home in the evening. I like sporting clays because it is an activity with friends where I’m not eating or drinking!!! -76 remaining calories.
2nd week goal weight: < 230 until I maintain it! Don’t let it slip back up into the 30s
2nd week actual weight: 228.6
2nd week weight loss: 1
Challenge weight lost: 2.2
Challenge weight to go: 9.6
Got back under 230 now to keep that over the weekend with my granddaughter’s first birthday party. Next target it 226 which was the lowest I hit last round before vacation.4 -
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. Having said that, I ate out (no choice) in Mexico for 2 weeks in September and was 138.1, so go figure. Lots and lots of walking though, and plenty of Margaritas.
Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6
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 - 144.0 - Not happy to see that number, hopefully tomorrow will be different. This could be fallout from Ribs on Friday.
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 - 143.2 - Glad to see a little drop. Can I get back to the beginning of the week weight in 3 days?
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 - 144.4 - I didn't take the time to post to forums
Day 8 Thursday June 22 - 142.6 - I have dinner prepped and logged. Record low temperatures here, almost 40c less than last year at this time. Yesterday was the beginning of summer? So nervous about my peppers and tomatoes. Hate these extreme weather fluctuations, very deflating to a gardener.
Day 9 Friday June 23 - 142.6 - I feel like my body is going to let go of some more, but I feel glad to be finishing the week not in the 144s. Saturday after work will be an indulgent day for me.
2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week, 142.2
2nd week actual weight: 142.6, so gained 0.4
Day 10 Saturday June 24
Day 11 Sunday June 25
Day 12 Monday June 26
Day 13 Tuesday June 27
Day 14 Wednesday June 28
Day 15 Thursday June 29
Day 16 Friday June 30
3rd week goal weight: I will see what Saturday's weight is and aim for 1 pound less than that.
3rd 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 142.24 -

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.

Day 08-06/22-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I traveled today for the truck repairs. I hit the coffee hard before I remembered to weigh and didn’t have any time to post before travel. It’s been a long day. Tomorrow’s scale will likely be a morale zapper as it is usually up after travel. I may skip weighing and just check in as I’ve found that looking doesn’t change anything. It may even make it worse. So we will see.

I heard yet another radio show about how much of what we eat is NOT food, and designed to make us feel hungry and craving more. Industrial highly processed items actually do not offer us nutrition. Things that say diet, low-fat, low sugar etc., anything that has a package with ingredients on it?
Of course there are a zillion articles on the internet about this.
On a related topic, any of you that know Jesse Plemons the actor (Friday night lights, married to Kirsten Dunst etc.) might be interested knowing how he lost weight.
I got this out of a magazine:
So, he got tired of being fat basically.
Beautiful jaw. Couldn't even see his jaw when he was fat.

@dawnbgethealthy - That is insightful ... stop eating terrible food! DH does this. If he tastes something he'll say not worth it and move on to what he does like on his plate.
Processed food that makes you crave more food. I totally agree with that statement!
Just got back from the grocery store ... mostly fresh stuff with the exception of some croutons, bread (of course), pasta ... those are my processed foods in my cabinets. Now to make something really yummy for dinner and not eat the whole pot of it!
Sounds like portion control with really great food is the way to go! I did this on the cruise BUT I ate the items in the bread basket and dessert for every meal so that is why I gained weight. If I had just stuck to the meal I was eating and not sampling the 3 different breads in the bread basket I probably would have lost weight. Next time ... I'm sure I'll have another opportunity.3
