    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.

    21 day legs up challenge of 4-5 minutes

    Day 2 - 5 minutes of assorted.

    Btw @Lilylady3k the exercise that you described for batwings that I couldn't think of the name of is "skullcrusher".
    I did that one with 2 - 5 pound weights the first day, but did it with my 8 pounder yesterday: bigger, more concentrated and easier to keep both arms doing exactly the same thing.

    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: 2 out of the 6

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

    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 - 142.4 - Tonight will be my indulgent night since I worked last night and have to work today on my usual day off. I will try to keep it reasonable.
    Day 11 Sunday June 25 - 143.8 - Ouch. Indulgent day without my usual activity. I worked, but at a job where I stand still and give out samples of booze and popcorn. I basically burned nothing at all, not "normal" for me. I plan to do lots and lots of gardening/yardwork today, I will get a bit of Fitness Marshall in before that to warm up my joints and muscles. 1.4 pound gain in one day : - (
    Day 12 Monday June 26 - 144.6 - Ouch, 2.2 pound gain in 2 days.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 - 145.2 - Egads. Frustrating because it was a perfect day. I know that everything in either direction takes several days to fully show up. Seeing a number like this sadly gives me the IDGAF attitude. I will try not to give into that tonight.
    Day 14 Wednesday June 28
    Day 15 Thursday June 29
    Day 16 Friday June 30

    3rd week goal weight: 141.4
    3rd week actual weight: Started the week at 142.4

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

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ June 15, 2023 thru September 22, 2023
    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA


    145320379.png

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


    Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:

    This shows the ending weights of each round:
    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6
    Round #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10---195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    Round #12---200.4
    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0

    Thoughts:

    1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
    4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

    Day 11-06/25-196.6-(Trend weight 196.9)

    Day 12-06/26-198.0-(Trend weight 197.0) My youngest “foodie” daughter, SIL and DGS came over last night and brought pizza for dinner. Hopefully this gain is mainly sodium. I really need to watch the sodium since I have a hard time ridding myself of the fluid retention. Yesterday was DAY ONE of the strength training challenge. I stuck to hand weights 2 of them x 2 lbs each. It was a little tougher than I thought, especially laying down but I changed up exercises about once every minute and that helped. I trained for 5 minutes. Clearly I need this. I may add in bands during the day here and there to build up some stamina and flexability. As a “senior” over 60, I definitely see the value of this.

    Day 13-06/27-198.0-(Trend weight 197.1) I got hungry last night after closing my diary. I had to eat again but I could have made better non-lazy choices. I performed strength training day #2 with hand weights for 5 minutes. My ankles do feel better when I drain them like this.

    Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-133 lbs
    Challenge Ending Weight:
    Total Weight Loss for Challenge:

    Day 1 Thursday June 15 -- 143.3
    Day 2 Friday June 16 -- 142.1 – This is encouraging. Decrease is probably water retention from last week's heavy carb & sugar diet. Stayed in control with food intake yesterday. No exercise tho.

    1st week goal weight: 142.3
    1st week actual weight: 142.1

    Day 3 Saturday June 17 142.4 -- Out for dinner and cocktails with friends last night. Stayed in control with minimum carbs, and sugar from 2 glasses of pinot grigio.
    Day 4 Sunday June 18 142.5 – 3 days in the 142’s. Hope to be in the 141’s by tomorrow.
    Day 5 Monday June 19 142.5
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20 142.7 – Still hanging in the 142s. Leaving for a short trip on Thursday night. Won’t be weighing in from Fri – Sun. I just hope I can at least maintain my current weight. Next Mon / Tues will tell all.
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21 143.1 – Unnecessary carb intake yesterday. Need to put in a workout this afternoon.
    Day 8 Thursday June 22 141.4 – Almost to my goal for this week. Stayed on course yesterday with what I ate, and had a workout session on my Peloton bike, as well as some upper body toning. I leave tonight for a long weekend trip to Oahu so won't be able to log my weight for the next 3 days. I’ll try my best to keep the carbs and sugar at a minimum. And will try to get some laps in at the hotel’s pool. But mainly I want to spend time with my daughter who goes to school there and to shop for some clothes as Maui is very limited on clothing stores these days.
    Day 9 Friday June 23 –

    2nd week goal weight: 141.1

    Day 12 Monday June 26 142.8 – So I gained a little over a pound since I last weighed (last Thurs). Tomorrow’s weight should show the final weight gained from my weekend travels… usually shows up about 2 days later. Back on the wagon today.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 142.4 – Stayed in control with food yesterday and got a workout in (15-min kettlebells, 15-min core, 10-min peloton climb).

    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
    Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - 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 - 7272 steps 2.7 miles (1.06 mi walk) biked 10 min and then did my Strength Training class skipping anything that might harm my knees more … so mainly upper body stuff. 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.

    Day 10: 6/24 - 230 / 229.8 - 6331 steps 2.44 miles, 10 min on the bike. Too much olive tapas! Trader Joe's Olive Tapenade spread on toasted French bread YUMMY, homemade spaghetti, and wine last night. Enjoyed watching Avatar Way of Water (3 hrs!) Lots of little exercises yesterday … baby steps. Today’s challenge will be my granddaughter’s 1 year old birthday party. -405 remaining calories.
    Day 11: 6/25 - 230.1 / 229.8 - 3829 steps 1.44 miles, 10 min on bike and 5 min strength with feet up using 3 lb weights! Darn scale! Not doing my 3 mile walks is killing me. The weekend indulgences need to come to an end … such a hard habit to break. Stayed away from the birthday cake, popsicles, watermelon margaritas, beer, etc yesterday. Stuck with the fruit on the table. Actually came home hungry! LOL DH and I then had ice cream at home! My activity for yesterday was picking up and running after my little granddaughters which is a lot of fun. -238 remaining calories.
    STARTING 21 day challenge ... feet up and 5 mins of hand weights (or even cans from the pantry) doing flys, tricep extensions, chest presses. Something simple that doesn't require much effort but gets us in to better habits. JOIN US!!!
    Day 12: 6/26 - 230.2 / 230.0 - 4130 steps 1.59 miles, 5 flights, 10 min on bike and 5 min strength with feet up using 3 lb weights! Then my regular strength training class. Well the Marie Calendar Chicken Pot Pie for lunch yesterday is NOT diet friendly! Oh my! Then too much wine with dinner resulted in my trend going back up to the 30s. :( -818 remaining calories.

    Day 13: 6/27 - 230.3 / 230.1 - Well I’m not eating diet food nor controlling portions so the results are earned. Need to focus. Taking care of my granddaughter today since she can’t go to daycare so away from my normal routine as well as skipping my watercolor class. LSU Baseball won the College World Series!

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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: 2 out of the 6

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

    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 - 142.4 - Tonight will be my indulgent night since I worked last night and have to work today on my usual day off. I will try to keep it reasonable.
    Day 11 Sunday June 25 - 143.8 - Ouch. Indulgent day without my usual activity. I worked, but at a job where I stand still and give out samples of booze and popcorn. I basically burned nothing at all, not "normal" for me. I plan to do lots and lots of gardening/yardwork today, I will get a bit of Fitness Marshall in before that to warm up my joints and muscles. 1.4 pound gain in one day : - (
    Day 12 Monday June 26 - 144.6 - Ouch, 2.2 pound gain in 2 days.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 - 145.2 - Egads. Frustrating because it was a perfect day. I know that everything in either direction takes several days to fully show up. Seeing a number like this sadly gives me the IDGAF attitude. I will try not to give into that tonight.
    Day 14 Wednesday June 28 - 143.8 - No rhyme or reason to these fluctuations that I can figure out. I am taking the day off of work today. I had my home appraisal for a refi after work yesterday. I had been spending time inside cleaning instead of out in my garden until that occurred. Got a couple of good hours in afterward. Soon my newest job will start and full days off will be rare. Going to putter in the garden, go for a trail walk before it gets too hot, re-clutter my house so that I can find everything that I shoved in drawers and closets prior to my home appraisal : - ) Really, can't find anything lol.
    Day 15 Thursday June 29
    Day 16 Friday June 30

    3rd week goal weight: 141.4
    3rd week actual weight: Started the week at 142.4

    Mini 21 day Challenge - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 4-5 minutes. Will 21 days turn this into a daily habit? Hope so. Very good for us.
    Day 1 - 4.5 minutes, various including skull crushers (batwings)
    Day 2 - 5 minutes
    Day 3 - 5 minutes - 3 exercises of 20 reps each - chest presses, flys, skull crushers. That went fast! Really nice to have legs up for a change. Tried to slow them as suggested by @Lilylady3k

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

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ June 15, 2023 thru September 22, 2023
    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA


    145320379.png

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


    Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:

    This shows the ending weights of each round:
    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6
    Round #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10---195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    Round #12---200.4
    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0

    Thoughts:

    1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
    4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

    Day 13-06/27-198.0-(Trend weight 197.1) I got hungry last night after closing my diary. I had to eat again but I could have made better non-lazy choices. I performed strength training day #2 with hand weights for 5 minutes. My ankles do feel better when I drain them like this.

    Day 14-06/28-197.0-(Trend weight 197.1) I think I finally lost the water weight from the Pizza on Sunday. I’ve also been working on self-draining my ankles with feet up daily for at least 30 minutes. I seem to have shed a lot of water yesterday as reflected on the scale. It was day 3 of my 21 day mini-challenge to do some simple weight training with hand weights and bands. I’m working on my bat wings among other things. Air quality was horrid yesterday. I stayed inside mainly and kept the windows closed. It was difficult with no A/C but necessary. Luckily it was a bit of a cooler day. My prayers continue for those affected by the Canadian wildfires and for the trees.

    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.

    Challenge Ending Weight:
    Total Weight Loss for Challenge:

    Day 1 Thursday June 15 -- 143.3
    Day 2 Friday June 16 -- 142.1 – This is encouraging. Decrease is probably water retention from last week's heavy carb & sugar diet. Stayed in control with food intake yesterday. No exercise tho.

    1st week goal weight: 142.3
    1st week actual weight: 142.1

    Day 3 Saturday June 17 142.4 -- Out for dinner and cocktails with friends last night. Stayed in control with minimum carbs, and sugar from 2 glasses of pinot grigio.
    Day 4 Sunday June 18 142.5 – 3 days in the 142’s. Hope to be in the 141’s by tomorrow.
    Day 5 Monday June 19 142.5
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20 142.7 – Still hanging in the 142s. Leaving for a short trip on Thursday night. Won’t be weighing in from Fri – Sun. I just hope I can at least maintain my current weight. Next Mon / Tues will tell all.
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21 143.1 – Unnecessary carb intake yesterday. Need to put in a workout this afternoon.
    Day 8 Thursday June 22 141.4 – Almost to my goal for this week. Stayed on course yesterday with what I ate, and had a workout session on my Peloton bike, as well as some upper body toning. I leave tonight for a long weekend trip to Oahu so won't be able to log my weight for the next 3 days. I’ll try my best to keep the carbs and sugar at a minimum. And will try to get some laps in at the hotel’s pool. But mainly I want to spend time with my daughter who goes to school there and to shop for some clothes as Maui is very limited on clothing stores these days.

    Day 11 Sunday June 25 DNW – [travel]
    Day 12 Monday June 26 142.8 – So I gained a little over a pound since I last weighed (last Thurs). Tomorrow’s weight should show the final weight gained from my weekend travels… usually shows up about 2 days later. Back on the wagon today.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 142.4 – Stayed in control with food yesterday and got a workout in (15-min kettlebells, 15-min core, 10-min peloton climb).
    Day 14 Wednesday June 28 142.8 – I deserve this bump up. Gave in to sugar cravings yesterday and did not exercise.

    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?

    @dawnbgethealthy Well, you know how bad my memory is but NOW that you mention it, I do remember. Isn't it AMAZING how our body works so hard for us? It makes me feel guilty that I don't work harder for it! Fluid retention (even for protection) could take more than just 18-24 hours to release. It may take a day or two but the fitness of a hike will be worth it.

    @Lilylady3k I also slowed down because I was going for quantity instead of quality. After your post in regards to this, I suddenly remembered that we were taught that in cardiac rehab. We only had one lesson on strength training in 4 months, but they really pushed that point. Don't train Fast and don't "bounce" the movements! Thanks for the reminder!

    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?

    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: 2 out of the 6

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

    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 - 142.4 - Tonight will be my indulgent night since I worked last night and have to work today on my usual day off. I will try to keep it reasonable.
    Day 11 Sunday June 25 - 143.8 - Ouch. Indulgent day without my usual activity. I worked, but at a job where I stand still and give out samples of booze and popcorn. I basically burned nothing at all, not "normal" for me. I plan to do lots and lots of gardening/yardwork today, I will get a bit of Fitness Marshall in before that to warm up my joints and muscles. 1.4 pound gain in one day : - (
    Day 12 Monday June 26 - 144.6 - Ouch, 2.2 pound gain in 2 days.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 - 145.2 - Egads. Frustrating because it was a perfect day. I know that everything in either direction takes several days to fully show up. Seeing a number like this sadly gives me the IDGAF attitude. I will try not to give into that tonight.
    Day 14 Wednesday June 28 - 143.8 - No rhyme or reason to these fluctuations that I can figure out. I am taking the day off of work today. I had my home appraisal for a refi after work yesterday. I had been spending time inside cleaning instead of out in my garden until that occurred. Got a couple of good hours in afterward. Soon my newest job will start and full days off will be rare. Going to putter in the garden, go for a trail walk before it gets too hot, re-clutter my house so that I can find everything that I shoved in drawers and closets prior to my home appraisal : - ) Really, can't find anything lol.
    Day 15 Thursday June 29 - 146.0 - OMG, that is the highest number that I have seen. Food and exercise were good. However, I had taken the day off of work and went early on a hike that I normally get lost on (knowing that I didn't have anywhere to be). It was very hot by the time that I realized I should find my way out. Once before when I overheated my weight jumped up 3 pounds, (do you remember that Donna?) so I am feeling that it is just my body holding on to things in case I am in danger. Tomorrow will tell even though I am working a split, will eat late, plus be out in the hot sun in the garden during my late afternoon break.
    Day 16 Friday June 30 - 144.6 - Extremely busy split shift day at the restaurant, plus I was out early in the morning fighting bindweed in my potato garden, got 2 rows of 7 done. It was midnight by the time that I ate dinner and I was up at 6am this morning. I made lots of money!!
    I plan on relaxing my "diet" over the weekend, my last 2 days off in a row for a long time? Yesterday I ended up having another day where my output was more than my input. None of my summer shorts fit! Definitely have gone up a size or two. One day what MFP says may become true!

    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

    Day 17 – Saturday July 01 - Big holiday here, Canada Day

    Day 19 – Monday July 03
    Day 20 – Tuesday July 04

    Day 23 – Friday July 07

    4th week goal weight:
    4th week actual weight:

    Mini 21 day Challenge - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 4-5 minutes. Will 21 days turn this into a daily habit? Hope so. Very good for us.
    Day 1 - 4.5 minutes, various including skull crushers (batwings)
    Day 2 - 5 minutes
    Day 3 - 5 minutes - 3 exercises of 20 reps each - chest presses, flys, skull crushers. That went fast! Really nice to have legs up for a change. Tried to slow them as suggested by @Lilylady3k
    Day 4 - Completely missed, I somehow couldn't find 5 minutes out of an extremely busy day.
    Day 5 -




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

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ June 15, 2023 thru September 22, 2023
    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA


    145320379.png

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


    Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:

    This shows the ending weights of each round:
    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6
    Round #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10---195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    Round #12---200.4
    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0

    Thoughts:

    1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
    4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

    Day 15-06/29-196.8-(Trend weight 197.1) Traveled today with my son. Lots of sitting and restaurant food. Tomorrow I pay the fiddler. Getting ready to drain my ankles and do my strength training. I seriously need the draining very badly today after all the sitting today.

    Day 16-06/30-198.2-(Trend weight 197.3) It’s just getting harder and harder instead of easier and easier. Time to crack the whip! I did day 5 of my strength training with my weights for 5 minutes. I also did some loop band training which I found a bit harder. I did that for about 4 minutes late last night. I used the easiest of my 3 loops. Boy are my arms weak! In regards to weight, I know that my diabetes is greatly affected by my weight. I’ve got to get (and stay) serious! Up 1.4 lbs overnight after my travel.

    WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.0 lbs. GAINED
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.2 GAINED

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

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

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

    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023)

    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Get out of the 230s!!!!!!
    * Recover lowest during round #15 226.2
    * Making below 225 stick
    * Into the teens again: <220
    * Less than I started year 2022: <209

    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
    Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - 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 - 7272 steps 2.7 miles (1.06 mi walk) biked 10 min and then did my Strength Training class skipping anything that might harm my knees more … so mainly upper body stuff. 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.

    Day 10: 6/24 - 230 / 229.8 - 6331 steps 2.44 miles, 10 min on the bike. Too much olive tapas! Trader Joe's Olive Tapenade spread on toasted French bread YUMMY, homemade spaghetti, and wine last night. Enjoyed watching Avatar Way of Water (3 hrs!) Lots of little exercises yesterday … baby steps. Today’s challenge will be my granddaughter’s 1 year old birthday party. -405 remaining calories.
    Day 11: 6/25 - 230.1 / 229.8 - 3829 steps 1.44 miles, 10 min on bike and 5 min strength with feet up using 3 lb weights! Darn scale! Not doing my 3 mile walks is killing me. The weekend indulgences need to come to an end … such a hard habit to break. Stayed away from the birthday cake, popsicles, watermelon margaritas, beer, etc yesterday. Stuck with the fruit on the table. Actually came home hungry! LOL DH and I then had ice cream at home! My activity for yesterday was picking up and running after my little granddaughters which is a lot of fun. -238 remaining calories.
    STARTING 21 day challenge ... feet up and 5 mins of hand weights (or even cans from the pantry) doing flys, tricep extensions, chest presses. Something simple that doesn't require much effort but gets us in to better habits. JOIN US!!!
    Day 12: 6/26 - 230.2 / 230.0 - 4130 steps 1.59 miles, 5 flights, 10 min on bike and 5 min strength with feet up using 3 lb weights! Then my regular strength training class. Well the Marie Calendar Chicken Pot Pie for lunch yesterday is NOT diet friendly! Oh my! Then too much wine with dinner resulted in my trend going back up to the 30s. :( -818 remaining calories.

    Day 13: 6/27 - 230.3 / 230.1 - 5780 steps 2.22 miles Well I’m not eating diet food nor controlling portions so the results are earned. Need to focus. Taking care of my granddaughter today since she can’t go to daycare so away from my normal routine as well as skipping my watercolor class. LSU Baseball won the College World Series! Way to GEAUX Tigers! -245 remaining calories
    Day 14: 6/28 - 230.5 / 230.2 - 3263 steps 1.26 miles Great day babysitting my older granddaughter yesterday but terrible for getting healthy food in line. Didn’t exercise at all … just chased her and of course picked her up a number of times. -958 remaining calories
    Day 15: 6/29 - DNW - 6384 steps 2.44 miles Crazy day! Totally forgot to weigh in and obviously forgot to post early in the morning as my habit. Also didn’t make it to Lady Clays Sporting Clays Summer League. But I will survive. What went right? I did 15 min on bike, 5 min strength for challenge and also gardened. Then discovered DD & her husband both had fever. So picked up younger granddaughter at daycare and have her over night. -181 remaining calories.

    Day 16: 6/30 - 229.7 / 230.1 - Did not journal yesterday!!! Missed my 1 hr strength training class cause I was watching my 1 year old granddaughter while DH walked the dog. But went swimming with my granddaughter today, biked 15 min and 5 min of strength.

    3rd week goal weight: Recover lowest during round #15 226.2 until I hit it
    3rd week actual weight: 229.7
    3rd week weight GAIN: 1.1
    Challenge weight lost: 1.1
    Challenge weight to go: 10.7
    Let my weight slip back up into the 230s this week and then had to work it back down. So much going on that I’m not planning food which never works because if hungry or busy I usually make poor choices.

    I’m Teri
    Age 59, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 143.3 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-133 lbs
    Challenge Ending Weight:
    Total Weight Loss for Challenge:

    Day 1 Thursday June 15 -- 143.3
    Day 2 Friday June 16 -- 142.1 – This is encouraging. Decrease is probably water retention from last week's heavy carb & sugar diet. Stayed in control with food intake yesterday. No exercise tho.

    1st week goal weight: 142.3
    1st week actual weight: 142.1

    Day 3 Saturday June 17 142.4 -- Out for dinner and cocktails with friends last night. Stayed in control with minimum carbs, and sugar from 2 glasses of pinot grigio.
    Day 4 Sunday June 18 142.5 – 3 days in the 142’s. Hope to be in the 141’s by tomorrow.
    Day 5 Monday June 19 142.5
    Day 6 Tuesday June 20 142.7 – Still hanging in the 142s. Leaving for a short trip on Thursday night. Won’t be weighing in from Fri – Sun. I just hope I can at least maintain my current weight. Next Mon / Tues will tell all.
    Day 7 Wednesday June 21 143.1 – Unnecessary carb intake yesterday. Need to put in a workout this afternoon.
    Day 8 Thursday June 22 141.4 – Almost to my goal for this week. Stayed on course yesterday with what I ate, and had a workout session on my Peloton bike, as well as some upper body toning. I leave tonight for a long weekend trip to Oahu so won't be able to log my weight for the next 3 days. I’ll try my best to keep the carbs and sugar at a minimum. And will try to get some laps in at the hotel’s pool. But mainly I want to spend time with my daughter who goes to school there and to shop for some clothes as Maui is very limited on clothing stores these days.
    Day 9 Friday June 23 –

    2nd week goal weight: 141.1
    2nd week actual weight: DNW [travel]
    1st week goal weight: 142.3
    1st week actual weight: 142.1

    2nd week goal weight: 141.1
    2nd week actual weight: DNW [travel]

    Current week:
    Day 10 Saturday June 24 DNW – [travel]
    Day 11 Sunday June 25 DNW – [travel]
    Day 12 Monday June 26 142.8 – So I gained a little over a pound since I last weighed (last Thurs). Tomorrow’s weight should show the final weight gained from my weekend travels… usually shows up about 2 days later. Back on the wagon today.
    Day 13 Tuesday June 27 142.4 – Stayed in control with food yesterday and got a workout in (15-min kettlebells, 15-min core, 10-min peloton climb).
    Day 14 Wednesday June 28 142.8 – I deserve this bump up. Gave in to sugar cravings yesterday and did not exercise.
    Day 15 Thursday June 29 142.1 – Moderate consumption of sugar and potato chips yesterday, but I got a 50-min Peloton workout in which maybe kept the insulin spike in balance. I have one more day to lose a pound to put me at my goal weight for this week.
    Day 16 Friday June 30 142.4 – Shucks, didn’t reach my weekly goal. Oh well, just keep going. Got a workout in yesterday: 20-min kettlebell, 10-min abs, and 15 min. Peloton ride. Had some unhealthy snacks (Oreos & potato chips) in the afternoon and a late, heavy dinner last night.

    3rd week goal weight: 141.1
    3rd week actual weight: 142.4
    3rd week result: .4 lb loss
    Overall challenge result: .9 lb loss
