    @deepwoodslady - WOW wonderful to record so much weight loss this fall! You are on a roll and driven to get your health under control. I agree that you might need to check with your doctors on all meds across the board since the weight loss. Sorry to hear about the blood glucose drop. Take care!

    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.

    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 41-11/02 - DNW

    Day 42-11/03 - 143.6 Gaining and losing the same pound over and over. Whatever I’m doing is just maintaining. I need to figure out how to actually lose weight.

    Day 53-11/14 - 144.3

    Day 54-11/15 - 143.1 Don’t know where this drop came from. lol I never know how accurate my scale is. Yesterday’s exercise: 1 hour (11.78 miles) Peloton ride. Nothing crazy, no climbs. Just at a flat road pace after dinner. Easing back into it.

    Day 55-11/16 - 143.4 Could have done better with what I ate yesterday. Glad I got in some exercise: 15-min low impact cycling and a 20-min kettlebell class. I’ll be hurting for the next 2 days for sure.

    Day 56-11/17 - 143.9 It’s the snacking / self-sabotage. Ugh! Yesterday’s exercise: 35 min cycling and 10 min. upper body strength training.

    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 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 the difference between now and almost 30 pounds ago is so encouraging!! Did a nice BG barre fusion workout & a yoga stretch, ready to face the day!
    WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.2 lost
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 13.2 lost

    Day 36-10/28: 196.6 – Another nice drop! This makes it officially 30 pounds down since mid-June, and also officially my pre-pandemic weight...though it might be bc weigh-in was a little later in the day than usual and I haven’t had anything to drink in a few hours. So I won’t hold my breath for tomorrow, but even so it feels good! I had a great workout in the pool with the hubby and about to enjoy this unseasonably beautiful warm day!

    Day 37-10/29: 197.8 – had a feeling yesterday was a fluke…but still maintained a drop from Friday, it’s all good. It’s a rainy day here – got in another great pool workout & focused on upper body strength work, and am about to embark on my food prep for the week- chopped rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, Eggroll in a bowl with FF ground turkey, seasoned cauliflower rice/chopped broccoli, roasted portabellos & some cauliflower mash to go with chicken stroganoff I have in the freezer. Later will make oven bbq drumsticks, air-fryer fries and cornbread for football food. Rainy days make food prep a sort of cozy activity! 

    Day 38-10/30: 198.6 – Hm, scale is being very fickle! It could be a combo of incorporating more strength into my workout yesterday & tending not to drink as much water on the weekend…or also simply getting back to my weekday weigh-in time which tends to be earlier in the morning. Whatever it is, I’m not concerned…I’m feeling really good and just trying to keep my head screwed on straight in terms of prioritizing my health. Got all my food prep done yesterday so am ready for the week!
    Day 39-10/31-198.6
    Day 40-11/01: 197.4 – ok hopefully this drop sticks! Have a deadline at work today but just stopped to do a 15 min strength/15 min stretch workout….it’s really important for me to fit in even quick workouts especially on more high pressure days, otherwise I find myself fighting that “bad” food craving … I’m really proud of the progress I am FINALLY making and am determined to never leave onderland again!
    Day 41-11/02: 197.0
    Day 42-11/03: 197.0 – It’s been a pressured last few days at work but I’ve stuck with tearing myself away to do at least quick workouts and stretching…I’m really proud of how far I’ve come and really appreciate this challenge keeping me motivated and honest!!

    WEEK 6 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.8 loss
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 15 pounds lost


    Day 43-11/04 - skipped
    Day 44-11/05: 195.4 – Oh, so exciting to see these numbers keep getting lower! DH has a 40th HS reunion coming up the day after Thanksgiving, and I am so pumped to go shopping in my closet for something to wear!! I’m hoping to make it into the next decade by then, but I’ll take progress in any form.  I got some food prep done yesterday, the usual Eggroll in a Bowl for my lunches and Chopped Salad for DH’s lunches…today trying a new thing for football food, 2 ingredient air fryer soft pretzels – just self-rising flour & FF greek yogurt. We got some SF honey mustard dip to go with it… We shall see! Also trying a recipe to make my own “turkey sausage” crumble using FF ground turkey – will put on a roll for DH with some FF shredded mozz, peppers & onions (I mean, how bad can that be?) and some air-fryer FF. I’m going to add some to my cauliflower rice/chopped broccoli/roasted Portobello mixture, along with some sautéed kale. If it’s any good that’s a versatile protein to add to zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, etc.an easy thing to prep on its own and freeze in portions, so fingers crossed!

    Day 45-11/06: 197.8 – well, here’s where weighing daily is helpful! I did have a higher than usual calorie day yesterday, but not crazily high…so we’ll see how this shakes out as the week goes on. The scale can’t take away trying on a dress I haven’t worn in at least 4 years and having it look AWESOME! So a nice checkmark on an outfit for the reunion.  Also those two recipes I tried yesterday ROCKED, though I did have to cook the pretzel bites a little longer than they said in order to be fully browned & cooked through, next time I think I’ll try cooking them in the air fryer…and the turkey sausage seasoning recipe really did mimic sausage – with much lower calories, sodium, processed whatever…DH approved both so those will definitely move into the regular football rotation! Here’s the links in case anyone is interested: https://cookingmadehealthy.com/easy-pretzel-bites-2-ingredient-dough/, https://confessionsofafitfoodie.com/how-to-make-homemade-italian-sausage-with-ground-chicken-or-turkey/

    Day 46-11/07: 197.0 – ok, headed back in the right direction…did a good BG tabata walking/weight circuit, was a fun change in routine.

    Day 47-11/08: 196.0 – Back in the loss column for the week, let’s see if I can eek out a bit more by Friday! I’ve been staying consistent with my workouts & stretching, even if I keep them a little shorter when I have a busy work day. For me, that’s the key to keeping my head screwed on straight health-wise!

    Day 48-11/09:195.8 – eeking downward…I had to get 3 biopsies done on suspected basal cell carcinoma areas on my chest and nose – my poor nose has already had Mohs surgery about 4 years ago, taking a chunk of cartilage from my ear to replace the chunk they took out of my nose, and this small red spot appears to indicate it making a return in the same spot. The numbing needles hurt SO MUCH I wanted to just say skip it and just do it without!!! So I almost used that as an excuse to skip a workout this morning, then rallied to do a short 20 minute cardio workout and stretch. Feeling much better as a result!!

    Day 49-11/10: 195.8 – took my measurements, and down an inch on my waist & hips from 3 weeks ago! It’s so nice seeing these numbers get back to things I feel like are more “me”.

    WEEK 7 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.2 loss
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 16.2 loss

    Day 50-11/11-skipped

    Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 16.2

    Day 51-11/12-skipped

    Day 52-11/13-skipped

    Day 53-11/14-skipped

    Day 54-11/15: 194.6 – It’s been a crazy work week, yesterday I started at 4am and went straight to 6pm…almost gave them two full days for the price of one! I found out those biopsies were all positive for basal cell skin cancer – no risk of death or anything but I have to get the two on my chest burned off today and then deal with getting another chunk taken out of my nose. Alas, my modeling career is going to take a hit...but at least the scale is continuing to cooperate!

    Day 55-11/16: 194.0
    Day 56-11/17: 194.0 – Had the cancer areas burned off my chest, it hurt but was over more quickly than I expected so counting that as a win. Work is still nuts, hanging in there and trying to make sure I still get some movement/stretch in…

    WEEK 8 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.8
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 18 pounds lost!!
    Day 57-11/18:skipped (I decided to stop weighing on weekends since the numbers get too skewed when off my regular schedule)
    Day 58-11/19: skipped
    Day 59-11/20: skipped
    Day 60-11/21: 192.6 – I had a higher calorie day on Sunday so expected a bump up…glad to see getting right back on track yesterday still resulted in a drop in the scale! So fricking excited!! I can’t wear the “hot” dress I planned to DH’s high school reunion because you can see the open wounds on my chest (decidedly un-sexy!) but I was able to still go shopping in my closet for another outfit- a little more conservative but probably for the best, wouldn’t want to cause gossip ha ha! I have to hold on to this feeling over the next few days, as challenges will abound…my goal is to get right back on track and fingers crossed simply maintain my low from this week. ..I will try not to let the air out of all 4 tires!!!

    Day 61-11/22: 191.4 – So close to a decade I haven’t seen since Feb. 2020…my boss wrapped us all early so I am getting a jump on some cleaning. DD21 comes home today for Thanksgiving, and I can’t wait to have our little family brunch tomorrow…but for now I’m alone in the house and feeling like I’m on my own little vacation!

    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

    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

    WEEK 6 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 6 Actual weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 142.2 - Hit the 141(.6) once during the week

    WEEK 7 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 7 Actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 143.0

    WEEK 8 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 8 Actual weight: 143.4 - Started the week at 143.4

    Day 57-11/18 - 143.4 - Ribs last night. So yummy. I expected a gain, but I stayed in bed much longer than usual. Maybe it will show up in the coming days. Very sore arm from my Covid and Flu vaccines, kind of lethargic too, but that could be a Ribs hangover also. Beautiful and sunny out here today, but only -5c so far. Sipping away on my coffee. It is my favourite radio day. My favourite radio night starts at 3am Sunday mornings, international shows broadcast on the overnight. I will get out for a little walk later in the day when it warms up a bit. Loving sticking to my guns and not working on Saturdays.

    Day 58-11/19 - 143.8 - I was up just before 3am to listen to the overnight shows that I love. Not working today. I did go back to bed for awhile at 6am. There is snow on the ground today, just a skiff. I will do laundry and stuff and some more cooking. My arm where I got my vaccines feels quite a bit better today. It didn't stop me from Fitness Marshall yesterday. I heard the key is to keep moving it around anyway. I am short one pack of prawns for my Jambalaya batch, so I will get out to the grocery store this morning to pick some more up. Laundry and stuff today too. I need 2 days off a week and will try to get as many of those as I can.

    Day 59-11/20 - 143.8 - Packed up 8 more Jambalaya for the freezer this morning. Weight could be worse from the Ribs on Friday, so I am okay with this weight for now.

    Day 60-11/21 - 145.8 - 4 days post Ribs, does this show how slow my metabolism is? A good eating/exercise day yesterday.

    Day 61-11/22 - 145.4 - Coming down a bit. Some days I am just resigned to being in the mid 140s and am okay with it. Not often, but some days. Working splits the next 2, so much better than working 2 jobs in one day. I much prefer the restaurant!

    Day 62-11/23 - 145.2 - Slowly coming down. Busy next few days, so I need to make sure that I have food prepped or taken out of the freezer for meals. I have company coming into town on Saturday - only each from around 1/2 hour away, but they both might stay over after we go to the Comedy Show, in case we have wine or whatever. Lots of cleaning to fit in!

    Day 63-11/24-xxxxx-

    WEEK 9 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 9 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 - 11.25
    Round 8 November 20 -

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

    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0
    Round #16---188.0


    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 am 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 62-11/23-182.0-(Trend weight 182.0) I went totally and completely overboard yesterday while traveling and shopping. Luckily today is going to be a quiet day at home since my family dinner celebration that I host will be on Saturday. This will give me time to cook, bake, clean and hopefully make some good choices until then. Also I hope to fit in some extra exercise even though you can’t outrun (or out-exercise) the fork. Have a beautiful and memorable day everyone!

    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 am 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 62-11/23-182.0-(Trend weight 182.0) I went totally and completely overboard yesterday while traveling and shopping. Luckily today is going to be a quiet day at home since my family dinner celebration that I host will be on Saturday. This will give me time to cook, bake, clean and hopefully make some good choices until then. Also I hope to fit in some extra exercise even though you can’t outrun (or out-exercise) the fork. Have a beautiful and memorable day everyone!

    Day 63-11/24-183.2-(Trend weight 182.2) Even though my big sha-bang family dinner isn’t until tomorrow, I still overate Thanksgiving food with a huge plate brought to me by my daughter from her in-law celebrations. I feel like I’m already back to square one. This will take a lot of work to get back off! Today I clean, food prep and bake for tomorrow’s big Thanksgiving dinner. I’m looking forward to some traditional holiday foods and desserts, but not for the overall damage to my plan. I’ll have to send away as many leftovers as I can get them to take.

    To All Who Are Celebrating Today:


    th?id=OIP.u8d8Fjw8ejAdAetqBsA-UgHaEK&pid=Api&P=0&h=420

    I notice that the cornucopia is: turkey, apples, vegetables.
    Thus apple pie, pumpkin pie, turkey and potatoes. Many people have green beans, sweet potato, brussels sprouts.
    In Canada we celebrate the harvest as Thanksgiving. So many lovely veggies.

    I hope that everyone is enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend so far.
    I watched the entirety of the Macy's Day parade after work last night. Cher!
    That parade is such an institution and I hope that it brought people together instead of dividing the nation.

    I still have the Dog show to watch, another US Thanksgiving ritual.

    I know for many of you that Thanksgiving falling on a Thursday will mean that getting together with family and friends will really take place over the weekend. Such a lovely holiday.

    @Lilylady3k
    I guess only getting to eat half of your dinner and dessert worked out great in a few ways :- )
    DH's birthday, Anniversary, Thanksgiving. Busy week for you so far. Lovely.

    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

    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

    WEEK 6 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 6 Actual weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 142.2 - Hit the 141(.6) once during the week

    WEEK 7 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 7 Actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 143.0

    WEEK 8 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 8 Actual weight: 143.4 - Started the week at 143.4

    Day 57-11/18 - 143.4 - Ribs last night. So yummy. I expected a gain, but I stayed in bed much longer than usual. Maybe it will show up in the coming days. Very sore arm from my Covid and Flu vaccines, kind of lethargic too, but that could be a Ribs hangover also. Beautiful and sunny out here today, but only -5c so far. Sipping away on my coffee. It is my favourite radio day. My favourite radio night starts at 3am Sunday mornings, international shows broadcast on the overnight. I will get out for a little walk later in the day when it warms up a bit. Loving sticking to my guns and not working on Saturdays.

    Day 58-11/19 - 143.8 - I was up just before 3am to listen to the overnight shows that I love. Not working today. I did go back to bed for awhile at 6am. There is snow on the ground today, just a skiff. I will do laundry and stuff and some more cooking. My arm where I got my vaccines feels quite a bit better today. It didn't stop me from Fitness Marshall yesterday. I heard the key is to keep moving it around anyway. I am short one pack of prawns for my Jambalaya batch, so I will get out to the grocery store this morning to pick some more up. Laundry and stuff today too. I need 2 days off a week and will try to get as many of those as I can.

    Day 59-11/20 - 143.8 - Packed up 8 more Jambalaya for the freezer this morning. Weight could be worse from the Ribs on Friday, so I am okay with this weight for now.

    Day 60-11/21 - 145.8 - 4 days post Ribs, does this show how slow my metabolism is? A good eating/exercise day yesterday.

    Day 61-11/22 - 145.4 - Coming down a bit. Some days I am just resigned to being in the mid 140s and am okay with it. Not often, but some days. Working splits the next 2, so much better than working 2 jobs in one day. I much prefer the restaurant!

    Day 62-11/23 - 145.2 - Slowly coming down. Busy next few days, so I need to make sure that I have food prepped or taken out of the freezer for meals. I have company coming into town on Saturday - only each from around 1/2 hour away, but they both might stay over after we go to the Comedy Show, in case we have wine or whatever. Lots of cleaning to fit in!

    Day 63-11/24 - 144.2 - Going out with friends to a comedy show tomorrow night. I am going to eat just before I go although I know that the others will have dinner there. I want to be able to drive home, so I will keep cocktails out to 1 or 2 over the space of the night. Or maybe even none.

    WEEK 9 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 9 Actual weight: 144.2 - started the week at 143.4. Ribs aftermath week.

    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 - 11.25
    Round 8 November 20 -

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

    Round 8 start measurement: 11.25 upper arm (batwing)
    Day 1 - Nov 20 - 7:58 of the 3
    Day 02 - Nov 21 – 8:23 of the 3

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

    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

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

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


    ENDING WEIGHTS IN PREVIOUS ROUNDS:
    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6

    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0
    Round #16---188.0


    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 am 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 feel like I’m already back to square one. This will take a lot of work to get back off! Today I clean, food prep and bake for tomorrow’s big Thanksgiving dinner. I’m looking forward to some traditional holiday foods and desserts, but not for the overall damage to my plan. I’ll have to send away as many leftovers as I can get them to take.

    Week 10:

    Day 64-11/25: 172.6 Walked 1hr 40 min walk yesterday which included some ‘bushwacking’. A bit intimidating to be alone in the forest but no sign of any critters.; hip and leg complained last nite. Stayed up too late drying laundry so indulged in PB&J snacks etc. Not much but enough to bounce wt back up 2#.
    Invited for “coffee” this afternoon; this will be a real struggle as they put out huge assortment of snacks etc. This invite often totally derails me but today I hope to do much better.
