@grooveydude
Welcome!
Yes, the dates for each week are on page one, or you could copy and paste each week from one of us at the beginning of each week.
I really like your graphic and words about how we lose muscle as we age and how important that is.
Some of us have been doing an ongoing 21 day challenge within this forum. It was brought about to drain the legs, especially for @deepwoodslady who was taken off of a water pill and had way too much swelling. We decided to incorporate some weights while laying with our legs up against a wall (or just straight up in the air) during the time that we are draining. For myself, I work on my feet all day and it has been lovely to begin this habit.
You have already lost a great deal! Congrats on that. I think that we are all healthier and give our joints a break when we stop carrying around excess weight. Changing exercise, lifestyle, and eating habits and incorporating new ones is what most of us are striving for I believe.4 -
Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 63 years old as of September 20th.
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: 4 out of the 6
Week 1 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 1 actual weight - 142.0 - Started the week at 143.2
Week 2 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 2 actual weight - 141.6 - Started the week at 142.2 - First week of eating 1/2 a banana each day
Day 15-10/07 - 141.8 - 2 days off! Still tired from the week, but it is sunny and blue. It is going to be a beautiful afternoon. Over the next 2 days I have a list of things that I want to do/accomplish. I will get some Fitness Marshall songs in before I begin digging, lifting, raking etc.
Day 16-10/08 - 142.0 - Climbing a bit each day on this weekend. Worked outside most of yesterday and plan to do the same today. It is very nice out here : - ) Sometimes I do gain weight from working outside, sometimes just from being a bit indulgent. Cooking up Rutabaga, potatoes, brussels sprouts, carrots this morning, to go with stuffing and gravy and some turkey for Thanksgiving and for the entire week. Going to get my garlic planted today and then rake all of the leaves from the front to put on top of it (supposed to have 4 inches of leaves).

Week 3 actual weight
Mini 21 day Challenge
Legs straight up (draining) with arm weights exercises, 4-6-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!!
Round 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!
Round 5: September 18 - October 08
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.
Day 01 - Sept 18 – 5:42 of 20 reps of the 3: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses
Day 02 - Sept 19 – 6:48 of the 3
Day 03 - Sept 20 – 7:38 of the 3
Day 04 - Sept 21 – 6:48 - My elbows were sore in bed last night, could be any of the 3 exercises. I might try to skip it for tonight. I will copy paste this over to the new 100 as well.
Day 05 - Sept 22 – Skipped, on purpose
Day 06 - Sept 23 – 9:51 of the 3
Day 07 - Sept 24 – 8:13 of the 3 - felt so great to put my legs up straight
Day 08 - Sept 25 – 8:15 of the 3
Day 09 - Sept 26 – 7:36 of the 3
Day 10 - Sept 27 – 9:04 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 28 – 8:20 of the 3 - I just start the stopwatch when I begin. Conscious of trying to keep it slower for better results as @Lilylady3k suggested.
Day 12 - Sept 29 – 7:17 of the 3
Day 13 - Sept 30 – 5:59 of the 3
Day 14 - Oct 01 – 7:24 of the 3
Day 15 - Oct 02 – Skipped, I have sore shoulders maybe from Sunday's digging and stuff.
Day 16 - Oct 03– 8:05 of the 3 - need those muscles to be strong for one of my jobs
Day 17 - Oct 04 – 5:51 of the 3
Day 18 - Oct 05 – 6:38 of the 3
Day 19 - Oct 06 – 8:45 of the 3. I think that I will skip tonight, my shoulder is sore from hefting heavy garbage up into the bins at my second job.
Day 20 - Oct 07 – Skipped. I had to pull a giant window down to clean the inside and outside of both. Pretty hard on the shoulders, kind of sore this morning. I may or may not do the 3 tonight, we'll see.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Sept 23, 2023 thru Dec 31, 2023
My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
Goal This Round: 176.0 (12 lbs)
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 188.0
Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
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
Thoughts at the start of this challenge:
1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 11.8 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 continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

Day 15-10/07-186.8-(Trend weight 188.1) I forgot to close out my day last night on MFP but I had an okay day. Scale is going back down from the travel day. My exercise was limited to just 20 minutes of aerobic dance due to the handymen being here so late. Today will be a slow rainy relaxing day but I may go check up on my older friend today and spend a little time with her. Tonight I hope to get some snuggled up reading in with a nice cup of hibiscus tea.
Day 16-10/08-186.2-(Trend weight 187.9) I had a good day yesterday. I stuck to my pre-logged plan and managed to fit in some extra minutes and types of exercise. There was no babysitting and no handymen so that made a world of difference.

@dawnbgethealthy I'm sorry I didn't answer your question sooner about what the handymen are working on. They scheduled another job that is a huge project with another homeowner. After installing my big new picture window (a bow window), they only had about 4 working days free so anything else I wanted done had to be a small project. I asked them to completely resurface my stone and river rock fireplace as we'd tried cleaning it and fixing some of the issues and it still looked like crap. The project SHOULD have been done within those days so I had planned on answering you with pictures (before and after photos). Then I went and did what I ALWAYS do, and completely changed the design AND the materials. Of course, in this rural area where I live there is no major big box hardware store (like Home Depot) so that makes things even more difficult.
After getting the supplies and having them start a 2nd time, I actually had them REMOVE work they had started doing again and changed it YET AGAIN. So we are now on the 3rd design. It's my bad that they were not able to finish it before going off to the other job. One of the men has said he would try to come on a weekend day here or there as his schedule allows to work on it. But otherwise, it won't be done until they return which is scheduled for some time in November.
I hate that it's not done but I know I made the right call. I was trying to decide things without actually seeing or feeling the materials in person. I finally was able to stop in and see what I wanted and write everything down for them when I went out-0f-town last week for the bone density scan. The fireplace is quite a focal point in my living room. It is the monster in the room and very important to the total design. I just want to get it right. It has it's challenges including the fact that it is a two sided fireplace. But not back to back. It is the corner style that goes around the corner so we can see it full frontal from the living room, but also can see it burning from the side in our dining area of the kitchen. It does not sit against an outer wall like most fireplaces with it's chimney clearly shown outside. It actually sits in the middle of the house.
I will get you some pics when it is finished. Some before and after.
Enjoy the holiday weekend leading up to your Thanksgiving!6 -
I want to lose at least 4.9 kg in this round. Bolded numbers means a new low.
Day 1 86.7 kg 2x45 min walks
Day 2 86.0 45 min walk
Day 3 85.9 2x45 min walks
--- Tracking my intake from now on, aiming for 6,000 kJ, posting total overeating above that number
Day 4 85.9 45 minute walk
Day 5 86.5 45 minute walk, 946 kJ under eating
--- Doing a little experiment, how many days in a row can I burn more energy than I eat? Starting day 7
Day 6 86.0 I had a bit of a sugar fest to celebrate the start of a new, 20 week online course. I don't know with accuracy what the energy value of it is, I'm going to reset the over eating counter to zero and start again
Day 7 86.2 5925 KJ, 2x45 min walks, losing 82 grams a day according to spreadsheet
Day 8 86.0 5929 kJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 9 85.5 5896KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 10 85.0 2x45 min walk, lowest weight in 47 days. My walking is definitely working because I wasn't walking 47 days ago. So I had 3 "excellent" days and 3 days in a row of eating less than I burned. That's not a particularly big achievement, I scanned back some old records and I saw 17 days in a row where I ate less than I burned. So I'm going to aim to beat that record, starting October 13. Mark your calendars. Threewins will attempt a lifetime record.
Day 11 85.4 911 KJ total overeating, 2x45 min walks
Day 12 85.5 320 KJ total under eating, 2x45 min walks
Day 13 84.4, lowest weight in 76 days, 6160 KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 14 84.7, 5855 KJ average intake, 2x45 min walks
Day 15 83.9, lowest weight in 102 days, 5909 KJ average, 2x45 min walks. I weighed 87.0 kg on the 22nd September, now with my most recent loss I'm losing since then 157 grams a day which means I've gotten to 1 kg a week, something which has rarely happened in my life, maybe half a dozen times, always briefly. I know that it's not just caused by fat loss but it's nice to see anyway.
Day 16 So. They say ignorance is bliss so I've led a very blissful life in the last 2 years, 10 months, 8 days. I really don't know what I was doing, living in a nice place, no job which I needed to go to and stress me out. I took the risk of looking back at my spreadsheet since my heaviest ever on 1st January 2021 and seeing how my weight loss progress was going. That graph has a lot of bumps. Then I removed all the rebounds and looked at the graph again. 1,010 days to lose 11.5 kg vs 144 days to lose 11.8 kg. So I've wasted 2 years, 4 months, and I'm still not back at the weight I was 5 months ago.
I've been tracking my intake during that period and it makes sense. There are some large spikes on that particular graph, it's not a graph you'd be proud of.
I'm not the sort to dwell on past mistakes so I'll just have a plan. My plan is to not have any rebounds. I want my 10 day average graph to head downwards, just like it did on my second 144 day graph. So I'll be posting my 10 day average and looking out for any gains. Small gains caused by water fluctuations are fine. Let's see how I go.
84.1, 85.1 10 day average, 5951 KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 17 83.9, 84.8 10 day average, 350 days until goal weight

Back again! I went from 79 kg to 71.5 kg in the last Challenge. Planning to get down to 67 kg (147.4lb) in the next 100 days.
Day 01-09/23-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Received news this morning that a family member in Ireland has had a heart attack. It was partly her fault because she heard of my weight loss success and tried to go on a crazy sort of almost religious diet with nothing but raw fruit and walking 18,000 steps a day. At 62 years old! Luckily she is recovering well, but it makes me more careful about sticking to a slow, sustainable rate. The tortoise always beats the hare.
Day 02-09/24-xxxxx- 72 kg. Unsure of my BMI because I used to be 5' 10" (177.8 cm) but now I've lost, maybe an inch? Or Two? I'll tentatively say 175 cm. So 23.5 BMI. PRetty good, but I'd like to, ideally, 22. But will settle for 22.5.
Day 03-09/25-xxxxx- 72 kg. Found a whole $NZ3.00 (USD1.80) out walking today. Wish it was like that everyday!
Day 04-09/26-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Went to an Art Exhibition opening and demolished a plate of sandwiches. I am not safe in the presence of bread.
Day 05-09/27-xxxxx- 72.1 kg. Whatever has happened! Could it be something I ate last night?
Day 06-09/28-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. I think the scale has a sense of humor and is playing pranks on me.
Day 07-09/29-xxxxx- 71.9 kg
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.4 kg gain. Not off to the best of starts. Trying to keep the total calories in at less than 1600 regardless of amount lost through exercise.
Accumulated Loss or Gain:
Day 08-09/30-xxxxx- 72 kg. Normally I drink my coffee black, but today I had my annual treat of pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. (the smallest size)
Day 09-10/01-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. ....number on the bathroom scale, whither will you wander? Upstairs, downstairs, in the refrigerator....
Day 10-10/02-xxxxx- 71.7 kg.
Day 11-10/03-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. Hopefully have recovered from the mindless snacking of the last 10 days and back to better habits ..... but now I am stress shopping online a lot .... telling myself that it is all for Christmas gifts....
Day 12-10/04-xxxxx- 71.2 kg.
Day 13-10/05-xxxxx- 71.2 kg. Second day in a row off eating less than I burned ..... hopefully I can go the next 5 days and see some results. Picking up the exercise to 90 mins walk a day.
Day 14-10/06-xxxxx- 71.1 kg. Ate some cheese I hadn't planned for, walked for an extra 60 mins to burn it off. Tired but in a positive mood.
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.8 kg - more than anticipated - seems like I was eating a lot and not losing much, but I started Week 2 heavier than at the start of Week 1.
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.4 kg. Hopefully I can lose this much every week in order to meet my goal of 67 kg.
Day 15-10/07-xxxxx- 71 kg Ate over my limit. Start again and try for a week.
Day 16-10/08-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. Ate under my limit, but then had a can of gin and soda....(a rare event for me)
Day 17-10/09-xxxxx- 72 kg. Looking in my closet I found a size 4XL top I haven't worn since I was 100 kg (220 lb), back in 2021. I dropped it off at the Salvation Army after making a solemn vow never to get that heavy again.

Day 15-10/07-178.1/178.6 – Seeing family today for a belated birthday dinner for my dad. I’m bringing BW3 chicken wings, which he loves. Thankfully my upper limit of chicken wings is pretty low, so I don’t think I’ll be too regretful afterwards. Tomorrow the plan is to take a birding walk in the morning then go to the gym in the afternoon. I look forward to it!
Day 16-10/08-176.8/178.4 – Success! Didn’t go overboard on chicken wings on Saturday, went to gym on Sunday.
Day 17-10/09-176.1/178.2 – Another work day. Have to remind myself that I actually do love what I do, it just doesn’t feel like it right now. But I’m staying steady with food logging and daily exercise, even if it’s “just” walking and planking. So I’m making slow progress.

Glad that your Bay window is in.
Good call on getting the fireplace exactly the way that you want it. Those guys are getting paid whether you changed your mind or not : - )
Yes, I would love to see a "before" picture.5 -
Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 63 years old as of September 20th.
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: 4 out of the 6
Week 1 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 1 actual weight - 142.0 - Started the week at 143.2
Week 2 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 2 actual weight - 141.6 - Started the week at 142.2 - First week of eating 1/2 a banana each day
Day 15-10/07 - 141.8 - 2 days off! Still tired from the week, but it is sunny and blue. It is going to be a beautiful afternoon. Over the next 2 days I have a list of things that I want to do/accomplish. I will get some Fitness Marshall songs in before I begin digging, lifting, raking etc.
Day 16-10/08 - 142.0 - Climbing a bit each day on this weekend. Worked outside most of yesterday and plan to do the same today. It is very nice out here : - ) Sometimes I do gain weight from working outside, sometimes just from being a bit indulgent. Cooking up Rutabaga, potatoes, brussels sprouts, carrots this morning, to go with stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and some turkey for Thanksgiving and for the entire week. Going to get my garlic planted today and then rake all of the leaves from the front to put on top of it (supposed to have 4 inches of leaves).
Day 17-10/09 - 143.0 - Yup, a whole pound up from yesterday, but that is how it usually goes with me. Kind of don't care, planning on eating the exact same thing all week - sans the turkey. I usually only buy the boxed kind, turkey roast breast, no bones or skin. It was out of stock with my grocery order. I am okay with that, I was quite full even without the meat. Finished cleaning the weeds out of the garlic bed, then got on a chair (it is 3 feet tall) to turn it all over with a spade, planted 12 rows of 10 cloves each and I have lots left to eat : - ). I still need to rake enough leaves to cover it. I had a piccolo of Henkell Trocken and Camembert before dinner, I won't be having that this week. I also had a glass of Pinot Noir, so have an entire bottle open which I do plan on having a glass of each night with my Thanksgiving dinner.

Week 3 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 3 actual weight
Mini 21 day Challenge
Legs straight up (draining) with arm weights exercises, 4-6-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!!
Round 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!
Round 5: September 18 - October 08. 11.25 started with 11.0 but completely okay with that, maybe building some muscle there.
Round 6: October 09 -
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.
Day 01 - Sept 18 – 5:42 of 20 reps of the 3: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses
Day 02 - Sept 19 – 6:48 of the 3
Day 03 - Sept 20 – 7:38 of the 3
Day 04 - Sept 21 – 6:48 - My elbows were sore in bed last night, could be any of the 3 exercises. I might try to skip it for tonight. I will copy paste this over to the new 100 as well.
Day 05 - Sept 22 – Skipped, on purpose
Day 06 - Sept 23 – 9:51 of the 3
Day 07 - Sept 24 – 8:13 of the 3 - felt so great to put my legs up straight
Day 08 - Sept 25 – 8:15 of the 3
Day 09 - Sept 26 – 7:36 of the 3
Day 10 - Sept 27 – 9:04 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 28 – 8:20 of the 3 - I just start the stopwatch when I begin. Conscious of trying to keep it slower for better results as @Lilylady3k suggested.
Day 12 - Sept 29 – 7:17 of the 3
Day 13 - Sept 30 – 5:59 of the 3
Day 14 - Oct 01 – 7:24 of the 3
Day 15 - Oct 02 – Skipped, I have sore shoulders maybe from Sunday's digging and stuff.
Day 16 - Oct 03– 8:05 of the 3 - need those muscles to be strong for one of my jobs
Day 17 - Oct 04 – 5:51 of the 3
Day 18 - Oct 05 – 6:38 of the 3
Day 19 - Oct 06 – 8:45 of the 3. I think that I will skip tonight, my shoulder is sore from hefting heavy garbage up into the bins at my second job.
Day 20 - Oct 07 – Skipped. I had to pull a giant window down to clean the inside and outside of both. Pretty hard on the shoulders, kind of sore this morning. I may or may not do the 3 tonight, we'll see.
Day 21 - Oct 08 – 5:31 - Glad to get the legs up after working in the yard. Final measurement, 11.25 inches.

Goal This Round: 176.0 (12 lbs)
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 188.0
Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx
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
Thoughts at the start of this challenge:
1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 11.8 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 continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

I may stop by the dollar store today and pick up some sugar-free Werthers candies that I can suck on in a candy dish emergency. Even though I am a chocoholic, there is something very spooky and dangerous about candy corn. You eat one piece, EVEN ONE, and it leads to another and another and another. I won’t be buying or eating any candy corn this season!

A week late to this new challenge, after falling off the wagon for a while. But I’m so glad to be back. Celebrated my 60th on 09/23 and I’m feeling good. Now to get back into the habit of weighing and logging in daily. I believe this is my 4th 100-day challenge. Good luck everyone!
Day 10-10/02-142.8 – New day, new start! Looking forward to being productive with work and to get some exercise in today. Need to work on my eating habits.
Day 11-10/03-142.5 – No workout yesterday but eating was pretty much on point. Probably not going to exercise today as well since I’m meeting friends for Happy Hour. I’ll try my best not to go overboard with alcohol and carbs (“don’t slash the other tires” LOL). One of the friends I’m meeting has returned to Maui for a funeral for family members who perished in the recent wildfire here. Lots of healing still to be done.
Day 12-10/04-141.7 – Wasn’t planning on working out yesterday, but my anxiety was high for most of the day, so I decided to jump on the Peloton to try to relieve it. Good call. Also, great get together with friends in the early evening and the ‘everything in moderation’ attitude performed well: just one glass of wine and an appetizer!
Day 13-10/05-DNW – Had a great start to the day yesterday, even got in a work out in the afternoon, until uncontrollable late night snacking got me. So, I didn’t want to feel even more disgusted by seeing the number on the scale this morning. On another note, it’s a beautiful day outside!
Day 14-10/06-143.4 – Not happy about this gain, but not surprised. This is the result of the copious amounts of sugar 2 & 3 days ago. [sigh]. Did well yesterday and if I keep it up, I should be happy with progress by Sunday.
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: +0.6
Accumulated Loss or Gain: +0.6
Day 15-10/07-143.5 – Nothing exciting to report. Just trudging along.
Day 16-10/08-DNW -
Day 17-10/09-144.3 – Have to work harder. I don’t remember it being this hard.

Accumulated Loss or Gain:

I want to lose at least 4.9 kg in this round. Bolded numbers means a new low.
Day 1 86.7 kg 2x45 min walks
Day 2 86.0 45 min walk
Day 3 85.9 2x45 min walks
--- Tracking my intake from now on, aiming for 6,000 kJ, posting total overeating above that number
Day 4 85.9 45 minute walk
Day 5 86.5 45 minute walk, 946 kJ under eating
--- Doing a little experiment, how many days in a row can I burn more energy than I eat? Starting day 7
Day 6 86.0 I had a bit of a sugar fest to celebrate the start of a new, 20 week online course. I don't know with accuracy what the energy value of it is, I'm going to reset the over eating counter to zero and start again
Day 7 86.2 5925 KJ, 2x45 min walks, losing 82 grams a day according to spreadsheet
Day 8 86.0 5929 kJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 9 85.5 5896KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 10 85.0 2x45 min walk, lowest weight in 47 days. My walking is definitely working because I wasn't walking 47 days ago. So I had 3 "excellent" days and 3 days in a row of eating less than I burned. That's not a particularly big achievement, I scanned back some old records and I saw 17 days in a row where I ate less than I burned. So I'm going to aim to beat that record, starting October 13. Mark your calendars. Threewins will attempt a lifetime record.
Day 11 85.4 911 KJ total overeating, 2x45 min walks
Day 12 85.5 320 KJ total under eating, 2x45 min walks
Day 13 84.4, lowest weight in 76 days, 6160 KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 14 84.7, 5855 KJ average intake, 2x45 min walks
Day 15 83.9, lowest weight in 102 days, 5909 KJ average, 2x45 min walks. I weighed 87.0 kg on the 22nd September, now with my most recent loss I'm losing since then 157 grams a day which means I've gotten to 1 kg a week, something which has rarely happened in my life, maybe half a dozen times, always briefly. I know that it's not just caused by fat loss but it's nice to see anyway.
Day 16 So. They say ignorance is bliss so I've led a very blissful life in the last 2 years, 10 months, 8 days. I really don't know what I was doing, living in a nice place, no job which I needed to go to and stress me out. I took the risk of looking back at my spreadsheet since my heaviest ever on 1st January 2021 and seeing how my weight loss progress was going. That graph has a lot of bumps. Then I removed all the rebounds and looked at the graph again. 1,010 days to lose 11.5 kg vs 144 days to lose 11.8 kg. So I've wasted 2 years, 4 months, and I'm still not back at the weight I was 5 months ago.
I've been tracking my intake during that period and it makes sense. There are some large spikes on that particular graph, it's not a graph you'd be proud of.
I'm not the sort to dwell on past mistakes so I'll just have a plan. My plan is to not have any rebounds. I want my 10 day average graph to head downwards, just like it did on my second 144 day graph. So I'll be posting my 10 day average and looking out for any gains. Small gains caused by water fluctuations are fine. Let's see how I go.
84.1, 85.1 10 day average, 5951 KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 17 83.9, 84.8 10 day average, 350 days until goal weight, 6347 KJ average food, 2x45 min walk, 3.4 km walk
Day 18, 84.5, 84.7 10 day average, 355 days until goal weight4 -
