    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.

    WEEK 5 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 5 Actual weight: 142.2 - Started the week at 142.2

    Day 36-10/28 - 142.2 - How lovely to have had only one job yesterday. I was able to go for a nice outdoor walk after work, and eat dinner at a reasonable time. I am doing split shifts at the restaurant both Saturday and Sunday. And though I said that I didn't want to do it anymore, this will be day 6 of working 12 days straight. Good for the pocketbook, and the weather isn't great right now so I might as well make $$

    Day 37-10/29 - 143.6 - Oop, 1.4 pound gain in 1 day. Hate that.

    Day 38-10/30 - 144.6 - I honestly don't get it. I was at 1151 calories yesterday and had my usual workouts/exercise. Is it something that I ate/drank going back to Friday? On day 8 of working 12 straight. Feeling very bloated.

    Day 39-10/31 - 142.8 - I must have peed 100 times yesterday! 2 pounds worth? Back to "Thanksgiving" dinners last night. I will cook a few more veggies this morning to add to it so that I have dinner ready when I get home from my second job tonight. It is cold here still, I fear that my beets and carrots that are still in the ground might be donezo. We'll see once it warms up again this coming weekend. I have lots that I harvested, but there are still lots out there. Minus 12c over the last several nights, too frozen to dig (plus no time). Off to the Google to find out.

    Round 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!

    Round 7: October 30 -

    Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.

    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 [weigh-in: 142.8]
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.0 [Challenge start: 142.8]


    Day 36-10/28 - DNW

    Day 37-10/29 - DNW

    Day 38-10/30 - 143.4 Worked all weekend. No workouts.

    Day 39-10/31 - 143.9 I will have to limit the wine, pizza and candies tonight. Fingers crossed. Happy Halloween!

    @jennysweet58
    Great resolve to never leave onederland again. You are doing great!

    @ptitejeanne
    You are quietly just dropping those pounds

    @deepwoodslady
    Sorry that you got sick! Yes, break your exercise into smaller packets and see how you feel.
    You say that you are addicted to chocolate, I am probably addicted to Ribs lol. Good on you for not giving in to that, and good on me for still eat Ribs, just much less often. Hope that you are feeling better today. New low for you, and getting closer to getting out of the obese zone.

    @Lynn__W
    I'm so sorry about your feet. It is horrible to have sore feet. I suppose that you will try to change your shoes. Also sorry that you are feeling "flat". Hopefully it is just the seasons changing. Big hugs.

    @tinathescreamer
    Good story about the dairy! It seems like people who live in certain areas and eat/drink certain things become immune to the effects. Your body doesn't like it.

    @DarinGettingHawtin2013
    You are really in touch with your body if you are feeling the way that carbs make you feel afterward. I feel like as we age we become intolerant/allergic to certain things that didn't used to bother us.

    @dawnbgethealthy I read an article just the other day that I found interesting. The question was put to a doctor about where the lost weight goes when we lose it. Most people believed that it came out in your potty #2. That is what I thought too. But it turns out it comes out in your breath and your urine. 85% in the breath and 15% in the urine. So it really is similar to oxidation and elimination of alcohol.

    The same day (Oct 30th) that you peed so much, I did the same. The following day (Oct 31st) you were down 1.8 lbs and I was down 1.6 lbs. This is from the weight of the fluid, yes, but with out fat being removed with it. Hopefully I can continue peeing a lot, right on through the holidays lol.

    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 39-10/31-181.4-(Trend weight 184.9) I became pretty ill yesterday and I think it was from my exercise. I couldn’t eat much after that. For the last two days I have bumped my exercise bike up to 40-46 minutes instead of my normal 30. I do it in one sitting. Both days I’ve felt sick afterward and have ended up removing food from my pre-logging that I couldn’t eat. The one thing I learned from my cardiac rehab is to listen to my body. If it tells me something is wrong, then it is. Especially when exercising. So I am going to back down to 30 min or break longer amounts per day into 2 sets instead of one. I decided not to open the candy yesterday and make up the bags for the grandchildren. I was afraid it would be too tempting, so I will need to do that today. Even sick, I would eat chocolate. Even if it made me throw up later. I’m an addict. I checked my BMI this morning on a calculator that also takes age into consideration. I am at 30.3 which is still obese, but so very close to overweight. I need to be below 30. I’m excited to get there, hopefully soon!

    Day 40-11/01-181.2-(Trend weight 184.5) I am really struggling to get enough protein in. Even when I “chicken” and “tuna” myself to death. I’m going to have to look into adding protein shakes. I just have to watch the sugar content in them due to the T2D as well as the triggers. I know that Premier Protein is a popular one. I’ll be doing my research. I didn’t eat NOT EVEN ONE little candy bar from the Halloween candy. Lord, stand with me in Strength today!

    @tinathescreamer

    Coffee is wonderful. That is one thing that I will never give up, nor the coffee cream in it although I keep my tablespoon for that near and measure it.
    Good luck if you truly are wanting to give it up. Tea has more caffeine I think btw

    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.

    WEEK 5 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 5 Actual weight: 142.2 - Started the week at 142.2

    Day 36-10/28 - 142.2 - How lovely to have had only one job yesterday. I was able to go for a nice outdoor walk after work, and eat dinner at a reasonable time. I am doing split shifts at the restaurant both Saturday and Sunday. And though I said that I didn't want to do it anymore, this will be day 6 of working 12 days straight. Good for the pocketbook, and the weather isn't great right now so I might as well make $$

    Day 37-10/29 - 143.6 - Oop, 1.4 pound gain in 1 day. Hate that.

    Day 38-10/30 - 144.6 - I honestly don't get it. I was at 1151 calories yesterday and had my usual workouts/exercise. Is it something that I ate/drank going back to Friday? On day 8 of working 12 straight. Feeling very bloated.

    Day 39-10/31 - 142.8 - I must have peed 100 times yesterday! 2 pounds worth? Back to "Thanksgiving" dinners last night. I will cook a few more veggies this morning to add to it so that I have dinner ready when I get home from my second job tonight. It is cold here still, I fear that my beets and carrots that are still in the ground might be donezo. We'll see once it warms up again this coming weekend. I have lots that I harvested, but there are still lots out there. Minus 12c over the last several nights, too frozen to dig (plus no time). Off to the Google to find out.

    Day 40-11/01 - 142.8 - Entering into day 10 of working 12 straight. I can do these last 3.

    Day 41-11/02 -141.6!! Early dinner, is that the big difference? Working late today and tomorrow, then...a day off : - )

    Day 42-11/03-xxxxx-

    WEEK 5 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 5 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 - 11.4 - A bit higher, but I truly feel like my arms are tightening up
    Round 7: October 30 - Nov 19 -

    Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Sept 23, 2023 thru Dec 31, 2023

    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

    Goal This Round: 176.0 (12 lbs)
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 188.0
    Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx

    weight.png

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


    Thoughts at the start of this challenge:

    1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 11.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
    4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

I just have to watch the sugar content in them due to the T2D as well as the triggers. I know that Premier Protein is a popular one. I’ll be doing my research. I didn’t eat NOT EVEN ONE little candy bar from the Halloween candy. Lord, stand with me in Strength today!
