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 GAIN: +0.6
Accumulated 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.
Day 18-10/10-144.4 – Had a productive day yesterday, but no workout. Did not go off the rails with “bad” foods. I’m too close to 145 lbs. Need to reel it in.
Day 19-10/11-144.3 – Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class. But snacking gets me everytime.
Day 20-10/12-143.8 – Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. I hope I worked off the calories & carbs from my hamburger & fries from McDonald’s. No chips all day… yay me!
Day 21-10/13-xxxxx-142.7 – Happy with this scale read. Low carb day yesterday and no “bad” snacking. Took a break from working out. My body was hurting from the kettlebell workout the day before. Harder to recover the older I get.
WEEK 3 LOSS: -0.70 [weigh-in: 142.7]
Accumulated Loss: -0.1
Day 22-10/14-142.8
Day 23-10/15-143.8 – Can’t explain this jump.
Day 24-10/16-143.6 – Now back to my weekday routine of eating better, no alcohol and making more of an effort to fit in my workouts.
Day 25-10/17-142.9 – Improvement. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. Eating was on track. Ready for a productive day!
Day 26-10/18-143.0 - Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class, 5-min core.
Day 27-10/19-142.4 – Yesterday’s workout: 45 min ride on the Peloton. Nothing too intense but better than nothing. Slowly getting around to decluttering my home office. Got a new desk so that area is now organized. I don’t know why but I’m suddenly more productive. It’s like my brain has more room to process and follow thru with tasks. Something to be said for getting rid of clutter. Now to declutter the rest of my office.
Day 28-10/20- 143.1 Having dinner & cocktails out tonight. Expecting a weekend gain as usual.
WEEK 4 GAIN: +.04
Accumulated Loss or Gain: +.30
Day 29-10/21-DNW
Day 30-10/22-DNW
Day 31-10/23-143.3
Day 32-10/24-142.3- Surprised at this dip. It will probably go up again tomorrow though. Always starts with the weekend. It would be fine if I could get right back on track come Monday. I’ll have to work on it. Planning on shrimp tacos for dinner. Low carb tortillas for me.
Day 33-10/25 - 142.8 Dinner before 6pm yesterday and nothing afterward. Surprised myself!

100 day challenge - Total days: 1334 -
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 :minus 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 18-10/10-xxxxx- 71 kg. Started off with avo on toast for breakfast, but later in the morning felt very unwell. Stayed in bed for the rest of the day with no food, just water/
Day 19-10/11-xxxxx- 70.5 kg. Was able to get up and go out today. Still not much of an appetite, and coffee taste horrible, but at least I'm losing weight.
Day 20-10/12-xxxxx- 70 kg Waist 31.5 ins, Hips 40.5 ins.- not the best way to reach the stretch goal I set at the start of the year, but I'll take it. Feeling much better today, still ate some extra protein and went easy on the fiber. At the start of the year I made myself a disincentive promise that if I didn't lose the weight I would send a $240 donation to a Politician I Very Much Hope Is Not Reelected. If I can keep at the current weight until the end of the year Mister Obnoxious will get nothing from me!
Day 21-10/13-xxxxx- 70 kg. Exercising a little less, for maintenance, but also eating a little less - only half a lemon cupcake as a treat today, everything else was healthy. My focus now is less on continuing to lose and more on keeping the weight steady through the Holiday Season to the end of the year - which will be on us sooner than we expect! I do still have my rescued can of beer in the fridge, but will wait a few more days - alcohol once a week is enough.
WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 1 kg.
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.5 kg - that's a little over one pound a week, just as MFP predicted.
Day 22-10/14-xxxxx- 70.3 kg. I took some of the money I have found on the ground during my daily walks and bought a bag of colorful cotton yarn at the Sally Army. Intending to knit myself a pretty summer shawl. Then I met up with a friend for lunch and we shared a chicken salad wrap, which I thought would be healthy, but it turned out to have a bucketload of super sweet mayo.
Day 23-10/15-xxxxx- 70.1 kg. Today was very wet so I stayed in and knitted. Changed my mind about the shawl and started to knit a lacy summer top - in size M!!! ..... well, a pretty loose size M, but M nonetheless. I did make pizza for dinner, but it had a sprouted seed base, not too much cheese and loads of veggies.
Day 24-10/16-xxxxx- 70 kg. Started a new health goal - gradually cutting back on coffee. Hoping to have it down to one small cup a day by the end of the month, and cut it out completely in the New Year. In the past, when I was on stricter diets, I found coffee acted as an appetite suppressant. When I tried going cold turkey I started eating like crazy - after I was able to wean myself off for 18 months I was in a much better place both physically and mentally.
Day 25-10/17-xxxxx- 69.8 kg
Day 26-10/18-xxxxx- 69.9 kg. "Only" 4 cups of coffee today, and slightly over my calories allowed (but still in a deficit - just not a 500 cal deficit).
Day 27-10/19-xxxxx- 70 kg. Grapes are fruit. Fruit is good, but the calories still count .... it couldn't have been the toasted cheese.....
Day 28-10/20-xxxxx- 69.7 kg.
WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 0.3 kg
Accumulated Loss or Gain: minus 1.8 kg
Day 29-10/21-xxxxx- 69.8 kg
Day 30-10/22-xxxxx- 69.5 kg (152.9 lbs). Another 70 days to lose the last 2.5 kg - a little under 1.5 ounces per day (I switch from kilos and grams to pounds and ounces depending on which number seems more manageable - or impressive!) Losing 35.2 lbs sounds way better than losing 16 kg.
Day 31-10/23-xxxxx- 69 kg. Mainly healthy eating today, but was shopping for canned fish and mushrooms when I got waylaid by a chocolate bar .... need to exercise more self control with the holiday season coming up.
Day 32-10/24-xxxxx- 69.3 kg
Day 33-10/25-xxxxx- 69.5 kg.

Day 100-12/31…..(Final Weigh- In)-xxxxx-6 -
Hi I'm Jenny from the Bronx, NY - 58 years old, 5' 6", and struggled my whole life with food. I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I keep gaining and losing. I'm working hard to get back to a weight that's not super skinny but something I can maintain and feel good at - for me that's about 175. Let's see how far I can get by the New Year!Day 01-09/23: 212.0 - Did a burpeegirl workout and yoga stretch focusing on the low back - does anyone use the Down Dog app? It's amazing & one of the few pay things ($60 US per year) I feel is totally worth it! I actually only use the yoga app - you can input the time you want, they have all sorts of different types & intensities, you can even choose the type of music and the level of voice to music, then a real person leads you through a routine that's different every time. It comes with multiple other apps - HIIT, Barre, and a meditation app as well where you can customize in the same way. I only use the restorative/gentle yoga and even then feel it's totally worth it, I love the woman's calming voice. Not to sound like a commercial but I really love it and thought I'd share.
Day 02-09/24: 211.2 - So yesterday's weight was a bump up from the day before which was 211.6 - good to know that was fake! Did a longer more abs focused BG workout and yoga stretch. Today is Day 7 for me getting my act back together, and feeling so much better inside & out. Digestion (and related activites ) are much better, mood is stable...good to be back on my "meds" (exercise & healthy eating!)
Day 03-09/25: 209.8 - Booyah! I love when I move into a new decade...though it was a big drop, we'll see if it holds up tomorrow! Did BG walking/toning workout today plus yoga stretch. The consistent exercise/stretching over the past week has made my back feel much better, it was so sore at the beginning of last week - I think it finally started letting go of the inflammation which is good news on the scale!
Day 04-09/26: 210.0 - So it seems I am not quite free of this decade just yet! But I'll get there. Just finished BG cardio & yoga stretch, feeling good and onto another day!
Day 05-09/27-xxxxx-
Day 06-09/28: 208.2 - I missed a weigh in yesterday bc I started work at the crack of dawn and simply forgot - but a nice surprise with today's weigh in! Hopefully it sticks! It was even nicer bc DH had the day off, so we went to happy hour & ate dinner at a local restaurant. It's a little under 2 miles away so we walked there (so at least got some exercise for the day) and then I stuck with tequila, seltzer & lime (in a pint glass, so basically the alcohol content of a hard seltzer) and had a garden salad with grilled chicken and plain balsamic vinegar as dressing. I tracked it all and went a bit above my calories for the day, but proud I kept it reasonably healthy in the face of DH's steak sandwich & fries!! And it was fun to get out. Got in a good workout & stretch this morning and ready for another day!
Day 07-09/29: 209.2 - drats! My weight is pingponging a bit - but still a good loss for the week! No workout today except for running to put pumps in the backyard so our basement doesn't flood *__* - luckily they worked and we didn't have damage.
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.8 loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 2.8 loss
Day 08-09/30: 207.4 – OK I the scale is just jumping around! But it’s probably due to me weighing myself at different times the past couple of days. Just probably means yesterday’s was not real, which is good news!
Day 09-10/01: skipped a weigh-in, went for a morning walk on the beach boardwalk near our house, super lovely sunny day…finally!
Day 10-10/02-208.6 – up and down, up and down…maybe the popcorn I had yesterday?
Day 11-10/03-: 208.2 – I stopped messing around, back to weekday strictness! Workouts & stretches are feeling really good
Day 12-10/04: 207.0 – strictness has its rewards! My lower back as been so sore the past couple of weeks, I hope it’s not a kidney issue. I don’t have any other symptoms though so hopefully all the stretching will eventually help.
Day 13-10/05: 207.6 – wouldn’t it be nice if the scale just slowly and consistently moved downward? But I got to the pool this morning with the hubby and that felt really good. My back has been KILLING me the past couple of weeks so the lack of gravity felt amazing.
Day 14-10/06: 206.2 – Yay! The yo-yo hit the down mark just in time for the week 2 tally! Did a combo cardio/strength BG workout and a nice yoga stretch. I’m in a nice groove!
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.0 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 5.8 lost
Day 15-10/07: 205 – the scale is all over the place, another drop of almost a pound today! I’m prepared for a bump up tomorrow, especially since I tend to loosen the reins a bit on the weekend. I’ll try my best to stay on track though because I am enjoying the results! It’s a rainy day here so will transition my downstairs décor to something more autumnal…picked up a bunch of pretty little pumpkins & gourds to add to my flower arrangements, plus something called a “turban squash” that I’ve never seen before but will make a cool centerpiece!
Day 16-10/08: 204.0 – Ok this is getting a little crazy. Either my scale is going cuckoo…or it did occur to me maybe my whole back issue was causing a lot of inflammation & keeping the scale inflated? My husband suggested a lumbar pillow for my desk chair and it has made the WORLD of difference, that pain is essentially gone…but we’ll see if the loss sustains through the week. I did stay within my calories yesterday so that helped as well I’m sure! Today I’m proud bc DH and I were supposed to go for a walk on the beach like we did last Sunday, then chores got away from us and he felt like it was too late to go…and I took a look at the sun shining outside and went for a walk on my own through the park Did 2 miles and feel really proud I didn’t just follow his lead and sink into the couch to watch football. Yay for me!
Day 17-10/09: 204.4
Day 18-10/10: skipped, started work at 6:30am
Day 19-10/11: 202.8 – So exciting!! This is a pound before my pre-vacation weight in August, so I am officially in (recently) new territory – and it’s just a pound above my lowest weight in 2 years. I think I am FINALLY in the right headspace to get out of this CENTURY on the scale that I had no business being in the first place!! Did a great BG workout & yoga stretch, the sun is shining, and I am feeling tremendous today!
Day 20-10/12: 202.8 – Holding steady. I’ll take it! Had a great pool workout with the hubby this morning - it’s a beautiful day here in the Bronx, hopefully I can steal away for a quick walk later today and feel the sun on my face. I love working from home, but sometimes realize it’s been an entire week and I haven’t left the house!!
Day 21-10/13: 202.2 – unbelievable!!! I’m not sure when this train will slow down but I am thrilled!
WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: 4.0 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 9.8 lost
Day 22-10/14-skipped
Day 23-10/15-skipped
Day 24-10/16: 202.4 – indulged a little this weekend so expected a bigger bump up! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with the scale but I am taking every win I can! I went over my calories yesterday but it wasn’t a junk food binge or anything, just over my calorie limit with relatively healthy food. I did a ton of food prep – chicken zucchini noodle soup for lunches (plus a few for the freezer), and seasoned cauliflowerrice/broccoli mix with roasted portabello mushrooms for dinner. I made FF turkey burger sliders & air-fried French fries for football, and also prepped DH’s chopped salads he takes to work for lunch. We’ll be away next weekend so I needed to make sure I was ready to go with food in the freezer for next week. Did a BG workout & stretch this morning and ready to get back to weekday strictness!
Day 25-10/17-202.4 – a NSV this morning, did a yoga stretch where you pull your knees to your chest and then twist to the side – and realized I could get them all the way to the floor! 20 pounds ago that was an utter impossibility, due to my stomach being in my way. Feels good!!
Day 26-10/18: 202.0 – Ok, so now we’re back to last week’s weigh-in. I guess that weekend stuff hung around longer than expected, only two more days to show any kind of loss for this week…or the scale is simply adjusting to the big week I had last week. It never lets you get too far ahead, does it? I've been very consistent with workouts and am starting to feel more fit, which is wonderful on its own. (You gotta let the scale think you don't care, or it will torture you on purpose ha ha) I just measured though and am down 1.5 inches in my waist and .5 inch on my hips since before my vacation in July (the start of the last backslide) so progress goes on with or without the scale!!
Day 27-10/19: 200.8 –A new 3 year low! 5 more pounds till my pre-pandemic weight!! We’re leaving early tomorrow morning for a long weekend away – I’m sure I’ll do some damage eating at multiple restaurants all weekend and there for sure will be cocktails involved – but I’ll try to keep it moderate so I don’t do too much damage. I won’t have time to post a weigh-in though so this will count as my weekly weight, and we’ll see what next week brings! Hopefully I can eliminate any weekend indulgences and get close to onederland by the end of next week…we shall see!
Day 28-10/20-skipped
WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.2 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 11 pounds lost
Day 29-10/21-skipped
Day 30-10/22-skipped
Day 31-10/23: 204.2 – weight jump to be expected after a veerryy indulgent weekend. We’ll see as the week goes on how much of that is water…did a quickie BG workout & yoga stretch just to get my head back into the healthy mindset. It was a great weekend though – we think we found our dream home! Worth the fight back to the new low.
Day 32-10/24-skipped
Day 33-10/25-skipped
Day 34-10/26: 198.6 – ONEDERLAND AT LAST! I’ve had two back to back 14 hour days starting at 6am, so this is the first weigh-in since Monday…and I was so shocked I changed the batteries in the scale and re-calibrated to make sure it was real!!! After an indulgent 3 day weekend I was only hoping to make it close to my low of last week…surpassing it was not even an expectation. I haven’t done any exercise the past 2 days but I did stay on plan in terms of intermittent fasting and calories…frankly the fact I got right back on Monday is the biggest victory of all – that is ALWAYS my downfall, I let 3 days turn into 2 weeks turn into 2 months…until I’m starting all over again. NOT THIS TIME BABY! I mean I know it’s just one time I’ve managed to do this
but it’s one time more than I ever have before, so I am celebrating a NSV along with the victory on the scale! Let’s see if it holds up tomorrow….

Day 33-10/25-174.6/175.8 – Tested COVID negative, so at least there’s that. Josh is still symptomatic, poor guy. Today I went to water my parents’ plants (they’re out of town on a tropical cruise, lucky ducks) and used their treadmill plus harvested some grape tomatoes for salad. Also wished that I liked persimmons at all because they have a bumper crop this year. I just can’t make myself like them. I’ve tried them over and over.
Day 34-10/26-174.1/175.6 – The struggle is real. I’m reading lots of MFP motivation posts, including these, to keep peppy and focused. I don’t want to throw away so much progress with mindless eating.

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
Week 3 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 3 actual weight - 142.4 - Started the week at 142.6
Day 29-10/21: 142.2 - Nothing prepped for dinner today, but I have a full day off. I have 8 tomatoes left for a sandwich each day, the rest that are ripening in a box will be for cooking with at a later time - Jambalaya, chili, etc.
Day 30-10/22: 143.4 - It rained all night (as promised) so I am really glad that I spent the entire day in the yard yesterday. Just picking away at stuff today, and will be doing some peeling and cooking prep towards the 6 day workweek that I have coming up starting tomorrow.
Day 31-10/23: 144.2 - Up and down. Taking it in stride.
Day 32-10/24: 144.2 - I seldom get the same weight 2 days in a row. Weighed almost 2 hours earlier than usual. Hoping to see a drop tomorrow.
Day 33-10/25: 143.4 - Ended up working 9 1/2 hours straight, but all at the same place, so I enjoyed that and made some $$. Quite a few empty times at the restaurant, so I got lots of Fitness Marshall songs in here and there. Late dinner.
Day 34-10/26: 142.8 - Late dinner, today will be too.
Day 35-10/27:
WEEK 4 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 4 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 - 29 -
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.
Day 01 - Oct 09 – 4:45 of the 3. Made up this session on the morning of the 10th. Obviously went pretty quickly since I had to get to work.

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.

WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN:
Accumulated Loss or Gain:
Strength Training Mini Challenge Round 6:
I will continue to work on batwing arms and flabby thighs. I will also try to engage in some floor/standing/chair exercising to tighten stomach area especially. I will try to add in some aerobic exercise like walking or dancing or the exercise bike AT LEAST 5 days a week. This is not my dream, it is my pledge to myself.
Day 01 - Oct 09 – 6 min with 5 lb weights, 70 minutes walking inside the school, 15 min of regular floor exercises, Iso knee x 3.
Day 02 - Oct 10 – 5 min with 2 lb weights, 15 minutes of general floor exercises. Iso knee x 1. I didn’t do much in the form of exercise yesterday. I was so sore and I think it was from the walking on the hard floors of the school the day before. I did do about 15 minutes of floor exercising and stretching after I closed out my MFP last night to try and loosen things up. It feels slightly better today. I lowered my weights down to accommodate sore shoulders.
Day 03 - Oct 11 – 5 min with loop arm bands, 33 min on exercise bike including HIIT, 16 min of aerobic dancing, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 3.
Day 04 - Oct 12 – 5 min with 5 lb weights, 43 min on exercise bike, 15 min of general floor exercises. Iso knee therapy x 1.
Day 05 - Oct 13 – 6 min with loop arm bands, 32 min on exercise bike including HIIT, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 1.
Day 06 - Oct 14 – 7 min with loop arm bands, 42 min of aerobic dancing, 20 min of general floor exercises. Iso knee therapy x 3.
Day 07 - Oct 15 – 5 min with 5 lb weights, 195 min raking yard, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 3.

Week 5:
Day 29-10/21: 169.8 Back to where I was 2 months ago which is super encouraging. Getting this backslide reversed. Hope to catch a few more hours sleep, then will be finishing getting the house ready for company. Thank God for company because then I do such a thorough cleaning! Also hope to get outside and trim back the lilies etc so next spring's garden work will be so much less .... however I have a problem. To decrease fire hazards around our place I put down sand over landscape cloth instead of bark mulch. Now realize that our cat ( and probably neigbouring felines) have viewed this as the ultimate litter box! yuck :-(
Day 30-10/22: 172.2 Good day at work; we had a nice team in today.
Didn’t keep food journal; carb fest day ☹
Tried beginning a cross stitch project but pattern is small and need a magnifying glass to differentiate between the symbols for the colors.
Tired ++ but couldn’t fall asleep until midnight.
Day 31-10/23: 173.4 Not stressing over today’s weight. Lower numbers were great to see but I had some type of stomach “issue” and gut was totally empty. Today’s food points are a bit high as dinner was pizza and salad. That’s it for tonite. Watching a bit of tv and resuming work on an afghan. Spent 15 minutes stretching on the mat; pretty painful just lying flat on my back; had noticed how my upper spine is curving forwards – guess it’s from all the heavy work ‘in front’ of me. Tomorrow nite will spend some time with legs up like Dawn does. Refrained from mindless snacking.
Day 32-10/24: 174.4 Family member is in crisis so phones often and conversations are long. This has been going on for 3 weeks. He’s back and forth between decisions, opinions etc and quite frankly I’m finding it exhausting; but guess he needs someone to listen and that’s Me!
Day 33-10/25: 173.6 Got thru my “to do” list then vegged. Have a counted cross-stitch pattern I’d like to do but am unsure where or how to start. The printed pattern sheet is so small I need to find a commercial photocopier so I can enlarge it. Our one stationery store has closed so perhaps the library?
Day 34-10/26: 172.4 Was feeling “meh” this morning. Logged into my first WW virtual meeting. Sure wish there was a tutorial to navigating the meetings. Realized I’m not right back at square 1 so now feeling ‘guardedly hopeful’. Have some ideas for a more successful evening .. checking Ww pts for mini rice cakes. Going to freeze some grapes. Pre cooked veggies incl cauliflower & peppers to add to scram egg to replace toast.
Did 30 min hike down SQ Log Hill … doing this hike rips the bandaide off that I need to lose at least 15 to 20, but first goal is to get below 170. Ankle and hip were unhappy but I wasn’t gasping for breath like I was two weeks ago. Feel I’m definitely at the point where I either push past these physical aches and pains and regain fitness level or accept them and stop pushing myself outcome of doing the latter scares me.

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 GAIN: +0.6
Accumulated 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.
Day 18-10/10-144.4 – Had a productive day yesterday, but no workout. Did not go off the rails with “bad” foods. I’m too close to 145 lbs. Need to reel it in.
Day 19-10/11-144.3 – Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class. But snacking gets me everytime.
Day 20-10/12-143.8 – Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. I hope I worked off the calories & carbs from my hamburger & fries from McDonald’s. No chips all day… yay me!
Day 21-10/13-xxxxx-142.7 – Happy with this scale read. Low carb day yesterday and no “bad” snacking. Took a break from working out. My body was hurting from the kettlebell workout the day before. Harder to recover the older I get.
WEEK 3 LOSS: -0.70 [weigh-in: 142.7]
Accumulated Loss: -0.1
Day 22-10/14-142.8
Day 23-10/15-143.8 – Can’t explain this jump.
Day 24-10/16-143.6 – Now back to my weekday routine of eating better, no alcohol and making more of an effort to fit in my workouts.
Day 25-10/17-142.9 – Improvement. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. Eating was on track. Ready for a productive day!
Day 26-10/18-143.0 - Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class, 5-min core.
Day 27-10/19-142.4 – Yesterday’s workout: 45 min ride on the Peloton. Nothing too intense but better than nothing. Slowly getting around to decluttering my home office. Got a new desk so that area is now organized. I don’t know why but I’m suddenly more productive. It’s like my brain has more room to process and follow thru with tasks. Something to be said for getting rid of clutter. Now to declutter the rest of my office.
Day 28-10/20- 143.1 Having dinner & cocktails out tonight. Expecting a weekend gain as usual.
WEEK 4 GAIN: +.04
Accumulated Loss or Gain: +.30
Day 29-10/21-DNW
Day 30-10/22-DNW
Day 31-10/23-143.3
Day 32-10/24-142.3- Surprised at this dip. It will probably go up again tomorrow though. Always starts with the weekend. It would be fine if I could get right back on track come Monday. I’ll have to work on it. Planning on shrimp tacos for dinner. Low carb tortillas for me.
Day 33-10/25 - 142.8- Dinner before 6pm yesterday and nothing afterward. Surprised myself!
Day 34-10/26 - 142.8

@bteri107 - I'm amazed! 20 min on kettlebells! I have one and it really gets the heart rate going even with a minute. Keep up your great workout routine ... looks like it is shaping you up.
@Lilylady3k I love kettlebells because I'm lazy! lol It's a full body workout: strength training and cardio all in one. I'm trying to work my way back up to at least 30 min per session. But as you know consistency is key and I suck at it.
@bteri107 - Kettlebells is a full body workout is an understatement! I love mine too! But no where near your time limits.4 -

Day 22: 10/14 - 229.8 / 229.6 - No exercise.
Day 23: 0/15 - 228.9 / 229.4 - Walked 1.6 miles. Enjoyed the church bazaar down the street from us with the littlest granddaughter!
What I need to remember is that in 2024 my activities include being active, walking, hiking, swimming! In order to do that I’ll need to be slimmer and not have knee problems. I imagine if I can take some of the weight off my knees then I would be more mobile. Like they say use it or lose it! Mobility is key to the aging.
Day 24: 10/16 - 229.4 /229.4 📚Strong & Fit 1 hr. Managed to really hurt my knee with the 6 min squat portion and now I can barely walk.
Day 25: 10/17 - DNW Stairs are a real issue!
Day 26: 10/18 - 231.6 📚
Day 27: 10/19 - 230.8 Called and made doctor appt to determine what is going on with my knee. But she can’t see me until Monday

Day 28: 10/20 - 231.4 Wonderful charity luncheon with friends. Too much wine at both lunch & then in the evening when my sister dropped by unexpectedly.
Week 4 goal weight: <227 until I hit it!
Week 4 actual weight: 231.4
4th Week Weight GAIN: .4
Accumulated weight loss: .6
Challenge weight to go: 12.4
The situation with my knee is causing not only pain when I walk, but also messes with my sleep. AND I’m having problems doing much else. No meal planning which has to change if I want to lose weight!
Day 29: 10/21 - 230.4 at 7:20am. DNW Up at 2:30am drinking coffee plus water and forgot to weigh.
Day 30: 10/22 - 230.5
Day 31: 10/23 - 230.4
Day 32: 10/24 - 230.4
Day 33: 10/25 - 230.4
Day 34: 10/26 - 230.4
Day 35: 10/27 - 🎂 Heading to New Orleans!!! For a nice weekend with DH and babysit the little one at the hotel on Saturday night while our daughter and husband go to a wedding.
Week 5 goal weight: BACK UNDER 230!5 -
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 weight, 6419 KJ average food, 2x45 min walks, 3.0 km walk
Day 19 84.4, 84.6 10 day average, 333 days until goal weight, 2x45 min walks
Day 20 84.5, 84.5 10 day average, 275 days until goal weight
--- Attempting my lifetime record of most number of days eating less than burning, I need more than 17 days
Day 21, 85.6, 84.6 10 day average, 265 days until goal weight, 45 min walk, 9167 kJ of food which probably means I've failed in my first day of attempting my lifetime record, especially since I didn't do a second exercise session
Day 22 85.7, 84.6 10 day average, 253 days until goal weight, 40, 45, 45 min walks, 8707 KJ of food, again I didn't eat less than I burn, fingers crossed for Sunday
Day 23 85.8, 84.7 10 day average, 251 days until goal weight
Day 24 86.0, 84.8 10 day average, 265 days until goal weight, 6831 KJ of food, 1st day of eating below maintenance
Day 25, 85.9, 85.0 10 day average, 289 days until goal weight
Day 26, 85.2, 85.2 10 day average, 286 days until goal weight

100 day challenge - Total days: 1344 -
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 :minus 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 18-10/10-xxxxx- 71 kg. Started off with avo on toast for breakfast, but later in the morning felt very unwell. Stayed in bed for the rest of the day with no food, just water/
Day 19-10/11-xxxxx- 70.5 kg. Was able to get up and go out today. Still not much of an appetite, and coffee taste horrible, but at least I'm losing weight.
Day 20-10/12-xxxxx- 70 kg Waist 31.5 ins, Hips 40.5 ins.- not the best way to reach the stretch goal I set at the start of the year, but I'll take it. Feeling much better today, still ate some extra protein and went easy on the fiber. At the start of the year I made myself a disincentive promise that if I didn't lose the weight I would send a $240 donation to a Politician I Very Much Hope Is Not Reelected. If I can keep at the current weight until the end of the year Mister Obnoxious will get nothing from me!
Day 21-10/13-xxxxx- 70 kg. Exercising a little less, for maintenance, but also eating a little less - only half a lemon cupcake as a treat today, everything else was healthy. My focus now is less on continuing to lose and more on keeping the weight steady through the Holiday Season to the end of the year - which will be on us sooner than we expect! I do still have my rescued can of beer in the fridge, but will wait a few more days - alcohol once a week is enough.
WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 1 kg.
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.5 kg - that's a little over one pound a week, just as MFP predicted.
Day 22-10/14-xxxxx- 70.3 kg. I took some of the money I have found on the ground during my daily walks and bought a bag of colorful cotton yarn at the Sally Army. Intending to knit myself a pretty summer shawl. Then I met up with a friend for lunch and we shared a chicken salad wrap, which I thought would be healthy, but it turned out to have a bucketload of super sweet mayo.
Day 23-10/15-xxxxx- 70.1 kg. Today was very wet so I stayed in and knitted. Changed my mind about the shawl and started to knit a lacy summer top - in size M!!! ..... well, a pretty loose size M, but M nonetheless. I did make pizza for dinner, but it had a sprouted seed base, not too much cheese and loads of veggies.
Day 24-10/16-xxxxx- 70 kg. Started a new health goal - gradually cutting back on coffee. Hoping to have it down to one small cup a day by the end of the month, and cut it out completely in the New Year. In the past, when I was on stricter diets, I found coffee acted as an appetite suppressant. When I tried going cold turkey I started eating like crazy - after I was able to wean myself off for 18 months I was in a much better place both physically and mentally.
Day 25-10/17-xxxxx- 69.8 kg
Day 26-10/18-xxxxx- 69.9 kg. "Only" 4 cups of coffee today, and slightly over my calories allowed (but still in a deficit - just not a 500 cal deficit).
Day 27-10/19-xxxxx- 70 kg. Grapes are fruit. Fruit is good, but the calories still count .... it couldn't have been the toasted cheese.....
Day 28-10/20-xxxxx- 69.7 kg.
WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 0.3 kg
Accumulated Loss or Gain: minus 1.8 kg
Day 29-10/21-xxxxx- 69.8 kg
Day 30-10/22-xxxxx- 69.5 kg (152.9 lbs). Another 70 days to lose the last 2.5 kg - a little under 1.5 ounces per day (I switch from kilos and grams to pounds and ounces depending on which number seems more manageable - or impressive!) Losing 35.2 lbs sounds way better than losing 16 kg.
Day 31-10/23-xxxxx- 69 kg. Mainly healthy eating today, but was shopping for canned fish and mushrooms when I got waylaid by a chocolate bar .... need to exercise more self control with the holiday season coming up.
Day 32-10/24-xxxxx- 69.3 kg
Day 33-10/25-xxxxx- 69.5 kg.
Day 34-10/26-xxxxx- 69.3 kg.
Day 35-10/27-xxxxx- 69 kg.
WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 0.7 kg

Day 32-10/24-174.4/175.9
Day 33-10/25-174.6/175.8 – Tested COVID negative, so at least there’s that. Josh is still symptomatic, poor guy. Today I went to water my parents’ plants (they’re out of town on a tropical cruise, lucky ducks) and used their treadmill plus harvested some grape tomatoes for salad. Also wished that I liked persimmons at all because they have a bumper crop this year. I just can’t make myself like them. I’ve tried them over and over.
Day 34-10/26-174.1/175.6 – The struggle is real. I’m reading lots of MFP motivation posts, including these, to keep peppy and focused. I don’t want to throw away so much progress with mindless eating.
Day 35-10/27-175.0/175.6 – Yesterday was almost all junk food even though my calorie counts were below my limits. So I’m hoping that this gain is water weight from sodium intake.
WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: -0.3/-1.2
Accumulated Loss or Gain: -5.0/-5.5

I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I keep gaining and losing. I'm working hard to get back to a weight that's not super skinny but something I can maintain and feel good at - for me that's about 175. Let's see how far I can get by the New Year!Day 01-09/23: 212.0 - Did a burpeegirl workout and yoga stretch focusing on the low back - does anyone use the Down Dog app? It's amazing & one of the few pay things ($60 US per year) I feel is totally worth it! I actually only use the yoga app - you can input the time you want, they have all sorts of different types & intensities, you can even choose the type of music and the level of voice to music, then a real person leads you through a routine that's different every time. It comes with multiple other apps - HIIT, Barre, and a meditation app as well where you can customize in the same way. I only use the restorative/gentle yoga and even then feel it's totally worth it, I love the woman's calming voice. Not to sound like a commercial but I really love it and thought I'd share.
Day 02-09/24: 211.2 - So yesterday's weight was a bump up from the day before which was 211.6 - good to know that was fake! Did a longer more abs focused BG workout and yoga stretch. Today is Day 7 for me getting my act back together, and feeling so much better inside & out. Digestion (and related activites ) are much better, mood is stable...good to be back on my "meds" (exercise & healthy eating!)
Day 03-09/25: 209.8 - Booyah! I love when I move into a new decade...though it was a big drop, we'll see if it holds up tomorrow! Did BG walking/toning workout today plus yoga stretch. The consistent exercise/stretching over the past week has made my back feel much better, it was so sore at the beginning of last week - I think it finally started letting go of the inflammation which is good news on the scale!
Day 04-09/26: 210.0 - So it seems I am not quite free of this decade just yet! But I'll get there. Just finished BG cardio & yoga stretch, feeling good and onto another day!
Day 05-09/27-xxxxx-
Day 06-09/28: 208.2 - I missed a weigh in yesterday bc I started work at the crack of dawn and simply forgot - but a nice surprise with today's weigh in! Hopefully it sticks! It was even nicer bc DH had the day off, so we went to happy hour & ate dinner at a local restaurant. It's a little under 2 miles away so we walked there (so at least got some exercise for the day) and then I stuck with tequila, seltzer & lime (in a pint glass, so basically the alcohol content of a hard seltzer) and had a garden salad with grilled chicken and plain balsamic vinegar as dressing. I tracked it all and went a bit above my calories for the day, but proud I kept it reasonably healthy in the face of DH's steak sandwich & fries!! And it was fun to get out. Got in a good workout & stretch this morning and ready for another day!
Day 07-09/29: 209.2 - drats! My weight is pingponging a bit - but still a good loss for the week! No workout today except for running to put pumps in the backyard so our basement doesn't flood *__* - luckily they worked and we didn't have damage.
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.8 loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 2.8 loss
Day 08-09/30: 207.4 – OK I the scale is just jumping around! But it’s probably due to me weighing myself at different times the past couple of days. Just probably means yesterday’s was not real, which is good news!
Day 09-10/01: skipped a weigh-in, went for a morning walk on the beach boardwalk near our house, super lovely sunny day…finally!
Day 10-10/02-208.6 – up and down, up and down…maybe the popcorn I had yesterday?
Day 11-10/03-: 208.2 – I stopped messing around, back to weekday strictness! Workouts & stretches are feeling really good
Day 12-10/04: 207.0 – strictness has its rewards! My lower back as been so sore the past couple of weeks, I hope it’s not a kidney issue. I don’t have any other symptoms though so hopefully all the stretching will eventually help.
Day 13-10/05: 207.6 – wouldn’t it be nice if the scale just slowly and consistently moved downward? But I got to the pool this morning with the hubby and that felt really good. My back has been KILLING me the past couple of weeks so the lack of gravity felt amazing.
Day 14-10/06: 206.2 – Yay! The yo-yo hit the down mark just in time for the week 2 tally! Did a combo cardio/strength BG workout and a nice yoga stretch. I’m in a nice groove!
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.0 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 5.8 lost
Day 15-10/07: 205 – the scale is all over the place, another drop of almost a pound today! I’m prepared for a bump up tomorrow, especially since I tend to loosen the reins a bit on the weekend. I’ll try my best to stay on track though because I am enjoying the results! It’s a rainy day here so will transition my downstairs décor to something more autumnal…picked up a bunch of pretty little pumpkins & gourds to add to my flower arrangements, plus something called a “turban squash” that I’ve never seen before but will make a cool centerpiece!
Day 16-10/08: 204.0 – Ok this is getting a little crazy. Either my scale is going cuckoo…or it did occur to me maybe my whole back issue was causing a lot of inflammation & keeping the scale inflated? My husband suggested a lumbar pillow for my desk chair and it has made the WORLD of difference, that pain is essentially gone…but we’ll see if the loss sustains through the week. I did stay within my calories yesterday so that helped as well I’m sure! Today I’m proud bc DH and I were supposed to go for a walk on the beach like we did last Sunday, then chores got away from us and he felt like it was too late to go…and I took a look at the sun shining outside and went for a walk on my own through the park Did 2 miles and feel really proud I didn’t just follow his lead and sink into the couch to watch football. Yay for me!
Day 17-10/09: 204.4
Day 18-10/10: skipped, started work at 6:30am
Day 19-10/11: 202.8 – So exciting!! This is a pound before my pre-vacation weight in August, so I am officially in (recently) new territory – and it’s just a pound above my lowest weight in 2 years. I think I am FINALLY in the right headspace to get out of this CENTURY on the scale that I had no business being in the first place!! Did a great BG workout & yoga stretch, the sun is shining, and I am feeling tremendous today!
Day 20-10/12: 202.8 – Holding steady. I’ll take it! Had a great pool workout with the hubby this morning - it’s a beautiful day here in the Bronx, hopefully I can steal away for a quick walk later today and feel the sun on my face. I love working from home, but sometimes realize it’s been an entire week and I haven’t left the house!!
Day 21-10/13: 202.2 – unbelievable!!! I’m not sure when this train will slow down but I am thrilled!
WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: 4.0 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 9.8 lost
Day 22-10/14-skipped
Day 23-10/15-skipped
Day 24-10/16: 202.4 – indulged a little this weekend so expected a bigger bump up! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with the scale but I am taking every win I can! I went over my calories yesterday but it wasn’t a junk food binge or anything, just over my calorie limit with relatively healthy food. I did a ton of food prep – chicken zucchini noodle soup for lunches (plus a few for the freezer), and seasoned cauliflowerrice/broccoli mix with roasted portabello mushrooms for dinner. I made FF turkey burger sliders & air-fried French fries for football, and also prepped DH’s chopped salads he takes to work for lunch. We’ll be away next weekend so I needed to make sure I was ready to go with food in the freezer for next week. Did a BG workout & stretch this morning and ready to get back to weekday strictness!
Day 25-10/17-202.4 – a NSV this morning, did a yoga stretch where you pull your knees to your chest and then twist to the side – and realized I could get them all the way to the floor! 20 pounds ago that was an utter impossibility, due to my stomach being in my way. Feels good!!
Day 26-10/18: 202.0 – Ok, so now we’re back to last week’s weigh-in. I guess that weekend stuff hung around longer than expected, only two more days to show any kind of loss for this week…or the scale is simply adjusting to the big week I had last week. It never lets you get too far ahead, does it? I've been very consistent with workouts and am starting to feel more fit, which is wonderful on its own. (You gotta let the scale think you don't care, or it will torture you on purpose ha ha) I just measured though and am down 1.5 inches in my waist and .5 inch on my hips since before my vacation in July (the start of the last backslide) so progress goes on with or without the scale!!
Day 27-10/19: 200.8 –A new 3 year low! 5 more pounds till my pre-pandemic weight!! We’re leaving early tomorrow morning for a long weekend away – I’m sure I’ll do some damage eating at multiple restaurants all weekend and there for sure will be cocktails involved – but I’ll try to keep it moderate so I don’t do too much damage. I won’t have time to post a weigh-in though so this will count as my weekly weight, and we’ll see what next week brings! Hopefully I can eliminate any weekend indulgences and get close to onederland by the end of next week…we shall see!
Day 28-10/20-skipped
WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.2 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 11 pounds lost
Day 29-10/21-skipped
Day 30-10/22-skipped
Day 31-10/23: 204.2 – weight jump to be expected after a veerryy indulgent weekend. We’ll see as the week goes on how much of that is water…did a quickie BG workout & yoga stretch just to get my head back into the healthy mindset. It was a great weekend though – we think we found our dream home! Worth the fight back to the new low.
Day 32-10/24-skipped
Day 33-10/25-skipped
Day 34-10/26: 198.6 – ONEDERLAND AT LAST! I’ve had two back to back 14 hour days starting at 6am, so this is the first weigh-in since Monday…and I was so shocked I changed the batteries in the scale and re-calibrated to make sure it was real!!! After an indulgent 3 day weekend I was only hoping to make it close to my low of last week…surpassing it was not even an expectation. I haven’t done any exercise the past 2 days but I did stay on plan in terms of intermittent fasting and calories…frankly the fact I got right back on Monday is the biggest victory of all – that is ALWAYS my downfall, I let 3 days turn into 2 weeks turn into 2 months…until I’m starting all over again. NOT THIS TIME BABY! I mean I know it’s just one time I’ve managed to do this but it’s one time more than I ever have before, so I am celebrating a NSV along with the victory on the scale! Let’s see if it holds up tomorrow….
Day 35-10/27: 198.6 – holding steady! I’ll take it! I took some pix this morning, since this is a new low and it’s been a minute…and to see the massive difference between now and almost 30 pounds ago is so encouraging!! I most likely have built some muscle in there too and I feel so much more FIT and capable of doing things. Did a nice BG barre fusion workout & a yoga stretch, ready to face the day!
WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.2 lost

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
Week 3 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 3 actual weight - 143.2 - Started the week at 141.8
Week 4 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 4 actual weight - 142.4 - Started the week at 142.6
Day 29-10/21: 142.2 - Nothing prepped for dinner today, but I have a full day off. I have 8 tomatoes left for a sandwich each day, the rest that are ripening in a box will be for cooking with at a later time - Jambalaya, chili, etc.
Day 30-10/22: 143.4 - It rained all night (as promised) so I am really glad that I spent the entire day in the yard yesterday. Just picking away at stuff today, and will be doing some peeling and cooking prep towards the 6 day workweek that I have coming up starting tomorrow.
Day 31-10/23: 144.2 - Up and down. Taking it in stride.
Day 32-10/24: 144.2 - I seldom get the same weight 2 days in a row. Weighed almost 2 hours earlier than usual. Hoping to see a drop tomorrow.
Day 33-10/25: 143.4 - Ended up working 9 1/2 hours straight, but all at the same place, so I enjoyed that and made some $$. Quite a few empty times at the restaurant, so I got lots of Fitness Marshall songs in here and there. Late dinner.
Day 34-10/26: 142.8 - Late dinner, today will be too.
Day 35-10/27: 142.2 - Back on to the "Thanksgiving:" dinners last night. Cooked up enough veggies for a couple of days. Maybe only one job today, but a split shift tomorrow so I might change up dinner for tonight since I will have time today. Back to my start of the week weight, went up quite a bit in the middle of the week, so I am glad.

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 35-10/27-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I’m having great difficulty with weigh-ins on Fridays. I get up at 6:15-6:30 to get my DGS ready for school and to the bus stop at 7:30. I chose that day to take my (once per week) new Fosamax medicine which I must take with 8-10 oz of water away from food or other meds. Since I lay back down at 8:00 am it’s the perfect day to take it. If I could get my booty to bed earlier it would solve all the problems. I could just take meds immediately following a weigh in. However, I don’t go to bed until 3 or 4 am every night so I am not tired on Thursday nights (which is why I lay back down.) If I weigh on Friday morn before I take the Fosamax and all the water, it is too close to the time I actually went to bed - Too close to my last liquids and/or snacks. If I take it when I get up from my morning nap, it is too close to the medication and the 8-10 oz of water. Sorry for the long explanation but if you find that I am not weighing on Fridays, you’ll understand why. Never, under these circumstances, will my weigh-in reflect any actual progress so it may be best to just skip it since I feel it will always be inaccurate. With that being said, I will say that yesterday was a good day. Diet was on point, exercise was good. Strength training was accomplished. I feel good going into the weekend. I will post my week 5 results using yesterday’s weight.
WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.4 lbs LOST
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.4 lbs LOST
Strength Training Mini Challenge Round 6:
I will continue to work on batwing arms and flabby thighs. I will also try to engage in some floor/standing/chair exercising to tighten stomach area especially. I will try to add in some aerobic exercise like walking or dancing or the exercise bike AT LEAST 5 days a week. This is not my dream, it is my pledge to myself.

Day 02 - Oct 10 – 5 min with 2 lb weights, 15 minutes of general floor exercises. Iso knee x 1. I didn’t do much in the form of exercise yesterday. I was so sore and I think it was from the walking on the hard floors of the school the day before. I did do about 15 minutes of floor exercising and stretching after I closed out my MFP last night to try and loosen things up. It feels slightly better today. I lowered my weights down to accommodate sore shoulders.
Day 03 - Oct 11 – 5 min with loop arm bands, 33 min on exercise bike including HIIT, 16 min of aerobic dancing, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 3.

Day 09 - Oct 17 – 6 min with 5 lb weights, 60 min of yard work I was outside burning leaves for about 5 hours but am only counting one hour of actual raking and activity. 20 min on exercise bike, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 2.
Day 10 - Oct 18 – 7 min with 5 lb weights, 60 min of yard work burning leaves (5 hours) but only counting raking portion, 30 min on exercise bike including HIIT, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 3.

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 GAIN: +0.6
Accumulated 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.
Day 18-10/10-144.4 – Had a productive day yesterday, but no workout. Did not go off the rails with “bad” foods. I’m too close to 145 lbs. Need to reel it in.
Day 19-10/11-144.3 – Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class. But snacking gets me everytime.
Day 20-10/12-143.8 – Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. I hope I worked off the calories & carbs from my hamburger & fries from McDonald’s. No chips all day… yay me!
Day 21-10/13-xxxxx-142.7 – Happy with this scale read. Low carb day yesterday and no “bad” snacking. Took a break from working out. My body was hurting from the kettlebell workout the day before. Harder to recover the older I get.
WEEK 3 LOSS: -0.70 [weigh-in: 142.7]
Accumulated Loss: -0.1
Day 22-10/14-142.8
Day 23-10/15-143.8 – Can’t explain this jump.
Day 24-10/16-143.6 – Now back to my weekday routine of eating better, no alcohol and making more of an effort to fit in my workouts.
Day 25-10/17-142.9 – Improvement. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. Eating was on track. Ready for a productive day!
Day 26-10/18-143.0 - Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class, 5-min core.
Day 27-10/19-142.4 – Yesterday’s workout: 45 min ride on the Peloton. Nothing too intense but better than nothing. Slowly getting around to decluttering my home office. Got a new desk so that area is now organized. I don’t know why but I’m suddenly more productive. It’s like my brain has more room to process and follow thru with tasks. Something to be said for getting rid of clutter. Now to declutter the rest of my office.
Day 28-10/20- 143.1 Having dinner & cocktails out tonight. Expecting a weekend gain as usual.
WEEK 4 GAIN: +.04 [weigh-in: 143.1]
Accumulated Loss or Gain: +.30
Day 29-10/21-DNW
Day 30-10/22-DNW
Day 31-10/23-143.3
Day 32-10/24-142.3- Surprised at this dip. It will probably go up again tomorrow though. Always starts with the weekend. It would be fine if I could get right back on track come Monday. I’ll have to work on it. Planning on shrimp tacos for dinner. Low carb tortillas for me.
Day 33-10/25 - 142.8- Dinner before 6pm yesterday and nothing afterward. Surprised myself!
Day 34-10/26 - 142.8
Day 35-10/27 - 142.8- Same weight 3 days in a row and back to the weight I started this challenge with. Now it’s the weekend which always derails me. I will try harder.
WEEK 5 LOSS: -.3
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.0

100 day challenge - Total days: 1351 -
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 weight, 6419 KJ average food, 2x45 min walks, 3.0 km walk
Day 19 84.4, 84.6 10 day average, 333 days until goal weight, 2x45 min walks
Day 20 84.5, 84.5 10 day average, 275 days until goal weight
--- Attempting my lifetime record of most number of days eating less than burning, I need more than 17 days
Day 21, 85.6, 84.6 10 day average, 265 days until goal weight, 45 min walk, 9167 kJ of food which probably means I've failed in my first day of attempting my lifetime record, especially since I didn't do a second exercise session
Day 22 85.7, 84.6 10 day average, 253 days until goal weight, 40, 45, 45 min walks, 8707 KJ of food, again I didn't eat less than I burn, fingers crossed for Sunday
Day 23 85.8, 84.7 10 day average, 251 days until goal weight
Day 24 86.0, 84.8 10 day average, 265 days until goal weight, 6831 KJ of food, 1st day of eating below maintenance
Day 25, 85.9, 85.0 10 day average, 289 days until goal weight
Day 26, 85.2, 85.2 10 day average, 286 days until goal weight
Day 27, 85.8, 85.3 10 day average, 297 days until goal weight, 8432 KJ of food
Day 28, 85.7, 85.5 10 day average
Day 29, 85.9, 85.6 10 day average
Day 30, 85.4, 85.7 10 day average
Day 31, 84.7, 85.6 10 day average
Day 32, 84.7, 85.5 10 day average
Day 33, 84.5, 85.4 10 day average
Day 34, 84.5, 85.2 10 day average
Day 35, 84.3, 85.1 10 day average, lowest weight in 17 days, today was an "ideal" day, no sugary food, 6000 KJ or less food, 90 minutes walking
Day 36, 84.1, 85.0 10 day average, lowest weight in 19 days2 -

@threewins It's all paying off, everything you do! Wonderful!
Thanks but I actually ran out of motivation juice about 2 weeks ago, it seems to have come back. I have no way to predict when it will come and go.3
