    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.

    Hi. I’m Lynn, 76, 5’2”, from B.C., Canada. Just printed the previous 100 Day challenge and titling it “Diary of a Backslide”. This’ll be my 2nd 100 day challenge ..


    Day 01-09/23- 171.4 Met Clare at Lac des Roche; slow 2 ½ hr paddle yesterday. Struggled a bit carrying kayaks back up to cars. Need to work on rebuilding climbing strength and ‘getting my breath back’. Spent a lot of time on phone with DS1 and his triangle of people.

    Day 02-09/24: 173.4 Kinda bummed about my wt but probably a ‘catch up’ from the cake etc on Thursday. Made a BD supper complete with carrot cake but friend canceled at last minute; pleaded covid contact. Purchased stair stepper. Did short workout on bike and stepper but cut short because of darkness.

    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!)

    Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn. 5'2", 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


    Day 01-09/23 - 143.2, up 0.4 from the previous day, final weigh-in for that 100. It was a travel day so I didn't post in here until now. It was raining, so it was a very lovely drive albeit long since there were a few construction stoppages. I stopped at a small hike to a waterfall : - )

    g3dgn9mrbuyw.jpg
    Up at the summit of the drive, one actually drives through clouds. Cool : - )
    j0tpx6clo1td.jpg



    Day 02-09/24 - 143.8 - Ouch. I did 20 minutes of Fitness Marshall before hitting the road, but had done 65+ minutes of it each day that I was in the Shushwap. Other than the small hike to the waterfall I sat in the car for 9 hours. Taking a couple of days off at home before going back to work. I may (probably will before the temps drop too low and I am too busy working 2 jobs) do some garden harvest and possibly some cooking.

    Week 1 Goal:
    Week 1 actual weight
    Accumulated Loss or Gain:

    Mini 21 day Challenge
    Legs straight up (draining) with arm weights exercises, 4-6-ish minutes.
    Round 1, June 25.23 start: 12.5" start, 11.75" end.
    Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?
    I have a mole, so it is easy to measure in exactly the same place.
    Round 3: 11.5" - Wow, a whole inch off of my upper arm since beginning this!!
    Round 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!
    Round 5: September 18 - October 08

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


    Day 01 - Sept 18 – 5:42 of 20 reps of the 3: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses
    Day 02 - Sept 19 – 6:48 of the 3
    Day 03 - Sept 20 – 7:38 of the 3
    Day 04 - Sept 21 – 6:48 - My elbows were sore in bed last night, could be any of the 3 exercises. I might try to skip it for tonight. I will copy paste this over to the new 100 as well.
    Day 05 - Sept 22 – Skipped, on purpose

    @deepwoodslady

    I am the opposite as far as getting outdoor activity in the spring, fall, and winter.
    I rarely hike in the summers because it is too hot and I am busy in the garden or if I have the time off just laying on my floatie in a lake : - )

    I think that I generally lose more weight in the other 3 seasons, because I get outside.

    Trudging through the snow and shoveling burns lots of calories, as does cross country skiing and skating on the lakes. Sadly, I don't think that I will be doing much skating going forward since the x-rays came back showing arthritis in the knee. Of course the best way to deal with arthritis is to stay active and keep those joints lubricated. Skating is like a continual squat however.

    If you are zig-zagging (I will have to Google that) you will be making time for the foods that you like to eat around the holidays, but placing them strategically in your zig-zag for the big days : - )

    @dawnbgethealthy

    Glad to see you made it home safely. It's great that you have a few extra days to yourself before going back to your grueling schedule.

    In regards to zig-zagging: I don't get to add too many calories and it's not as often as I'd like lol. I don't think it will help too much during the holidays. I normally try to eat around 1400 so the highest day on zig-zag would be 1600, but I have to take away from other days to get it. I've been adding things like 3/4 c of cottage cheese on that day which puts me just a bit under the 1600 for the day. Or sometimes a bag of skinny girl popcorn (165 cals) and a TBSP or two of sugar-free applesauce. My lowest day is 1050 calories. On the two high days (1600 and 1520) I am trying to add in something healthy but, as you know, I am not the healthiest eater. The other day I added in frozen corn with butter. An extra 200 (or 120 on the 1520 day) doesn't leave a lot of room for what is on the Christmas platters in such variety and abundance, but if I can learn restraint and control it does leave room for a cookie or two on those days. Hmmmm Restraint and Control......Nope, not yet LOL.

    Day 02-09/24: Weighed myself and the scale said 230. I figured I probably didn't lose 7 lbs overnight, so I stepped off and on again: 235. All of this to say I'm glad I've ordered a digital scale. :D It arrived this afternoon and we'll see where we're at tomorrow morning.
    Did manage to get out for my second 45-minute walk in three days, and I'm back to tracking my food. So far so good.

    Can’t figure out how to get back in & just edit my original post counting off the days do I’ll reply here.

    Day 2 … feel a little guilty I always allow myself a treat & whatever I want for dinner on Sundays it stops me from eating anything not healthy until then but felt guilty doing it today because of the 100 day challenge.

    Still pretty much kept to my Sunday norm as I know it stops me from falling off the wagon so to speak. But I decided to not do a treat & whatever I wanted for dinner… decided to just choose one so took the treat and made a basic brown rice & bean vegan “peasant soup” as I call it when I need to run to the store for more ingredients. Will add carrots tomorrow.

    MFP should always bring you back to your last post. If you want to edit one from before (you can only edit for 1 hour) I suggest just copy and paste it, then edit from there.
