    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 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: 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).

    I heard a piece on the radio today by a woman from Health Canada and Participation.
    She talked about the benefits of getting outside for 5 or 10 minutes several times per day. Natural light, movement, removal from responsibility for a few minutes. Emotional, mental, and physical health.
    Especially those that work from home. She suggested setting a timer and going straight outside no matter the weather.

    Lol Donna, you sure made that up with all of your leaf raking. I have to get out and do more of that raking also (3rd round of it), but it won't be today since I will be going from one job to another.

    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 22-10/14 - 142.6 - Got 2/3 of the grass cut. The front yard will require me raking it first since that is where my big maple tree is.

    Day 23-10/15 - 143.2 - I ate quite a bit yesterday. Some days I am just hungrier than others, and some days I am simply more indulgent. So far today, not hungry like I was yesterday. I will prep a delicious and nutritious meal for later. I am thinking that I want to continue on with my "Thanksgiving" meals like I had all of last week. I will pull a couple of carrots and beets today out of the garden to add to that meal.

    Day 24-10/16 - Missed somehow!! Sat down with my coffee to type into here after a full glass of water and...I hadn't weighed! You would think that it would be part of my daily routine by now! Good day yesterday, the weather was beautiful. I pulled some beets and carrots, dug some more potatoes that were ready. Did my laundry for the week, peeled and cooked beets and carrots to add to my nightly ongoing thanksgiving dinner. I am using clubhouse gravy from a packet, so can have lots of that without too many calories.
    Day 25-10/17 - 145.0 - Not sweating this number at all. I feel like it is just a weird fluctuation, I don't feel that heavy. I was low on calories yesterday, but high on vegetables (6). Nice early dinner as will be tonight's.

    Day 26-10/18 - 143.2 - Working 2 jobs today, dinner is prepped and will be late. Now that I have decided that it isn't healthy for me to work 7 days per week I am working less since it seems that the second job really wants me on my 2 days off. Holding firm so far. Lots of harvest and yard work to do over the next couple of weeks, so the days off will make that pleasurable.

    Day 27-10/19 -

    Day 28-10/20 -

    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.

    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 24-10/16-184.6-(Trend weight 186.4)

    Day 25-10/17-185.8-(Trend weight 186.3) I ended up going out to dinner after raking literally all day yesterday. I certainly didn’t eat the amount of total calories that I burned including my TDEE. I’m thinking it is a lot of inflammation because I am truly in a lot of pain from all the work. I’ve been taking Aleve and it helps the pain. I hope it helps the swelling/inflammation. My poor son (who has been helping) is not even able to walk properly now. We really worked hard. We’ll see what the scale says tomorrow. Will it whisper or will it roar?

    Day 26-10/18-185.8-(Trend weight 186.3) Well I spent all afternoon until dark burning leaves. Lots of small-time raking into the firepit and raking to adjust piles but nothing like when we actually raked the yard. I did very well with my diet but had a forbidden snack last night that I should not have wanted or needed. I will be out burning again today until dark especially since rain is expected overnight and all day tomorrow. I will not nearly finish today. That will take many more dry days, but I will get as much done as possible. In the meantime, the house is piling up and nothing else is getting done. When I figure out how a person can be in two places at one time, I’ll let you all know.

    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.
    Day 08 - Oct 16 –5 min with loop arm bands in the morning, 285 minutes of raking, bending and lifting tarps full of damp/wet pine needles and leaves and carrying them uphill to the backyard bonfire area for later burning. Now to burn them all!
    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.

    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.
