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!

@geminimoon73
Yes, I have tried a few of those videos.
There are so many great videos available on YouTube.
I think that the key is to find some that engage us, that we enjoy and even look forward to.

Even if your workouts are keeping you thin, health experts say it's virtually impossible to outrun a bad diet.
Watch out for the habit to burn off what you eat ... visceral fat is less noticeable because it wraps around your organs.

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 : - )
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.
Day 03-09/25 - 143.2 - Had an awesome day at home even though I had woken up thinking that I was still in the Motel bed. Only one hour of time difference, but I am still "off" a bit as I got used to the PST. I had really great Fitness Marshall workouts, 3 or 4 songs at a time. This set me up to be limber enough to get outside. I got so much done in the yard yesterday, but nothing in the house lol. Maybe I can get to some unpacking today. I did make a full rice cooker last night and will measure that into containers for the freezer this morning now that it has cooled. So nice to not have to go anywhere today. I did need a few grocery items, but ordered them from Walmart shipping to arrive today. Kind of laying low since if anyone sees me from either place that I work they will want me to come in and I am not ready for that : - )
Day 04-09/26 - 143.8 - Bad sleep, I awoke at 2am with a sharp pain/cramp going from my ankle all of the way up my leg. I have suffered leg cramps before and keep a heating pad beside my bed for that. Not sure I have ever had one quite like that. I wondered if it had anything to do with the Cortisone shot in my ankle 10 days ago. Got more done in the yard today. I opened up one of the coverings on one of the pepper beds to harvest it all and it really looks like it could grow a bit more. I know that I shouldn't wait too much longer. The onions in there looked ready for sure. I will take a peek at the other one today. I can pull the tomatoes at any time and let them ripen in a box, but I feel like more of them will ripen on the vine (tastier) if I can extend a little. The tomatoes that ripen in the box are what I cook my Jambalaya and stuff with, not eat in sandwiches.

@tinathescreamer You are preaching to the choir Sister. LOL. Love me some bread but with diabetics (especially those who need to lose weight) it's a no-no. My biggest challenge by far......4 -

Have any of you ever done Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home videos? I love her older videos with just her or with the original group of people. Going to start back with them tomorrow with the 1 mile video, it’s less than 20 minutes. It’s like a light to medium aerobic but less jarring. I do skip doing the “kick backs” as my knees get sore from that.
She’s great, motivating & not annoying. Even if you are just able to do the warm up & fast forward to the cool down it’s a start.
@geminimoon73 - I have many of Leslie Samson's Walk at Home videos. But not viewed them in years since I no longer have a DVD player. Loved her active walks especially on rainy days. Might try to pull them back out.
Is there a way to transfer my DVDs to a file on my computer? Curious minds trying to solve a problem.
@Lilylady3k It's been a long time for me too with Leslie, but I used to find them on Youtube and do them from my PC screen. You also may be able to cast them to your TV if you have a smart TV or you may be able to just straight pull them up on the smart TV from youtube.4 -

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
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
Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:This shows the ending weights of each round:
Round #1 --- 199,8
Round #2 --- 186.8
Round #3 --- 195.6
Round #4 --- 211.0

Round #12---200.4
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 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 01-09/23-187.8-(Trend weight 190.6)
Day 02-09/24-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)
Day 03-09/25-188.8-(Trend weight 190.4) Well $#!% It was only a few (well maybe a bit more than a few) cookies and it was day before yesterday and still, I am up a full pound. I know, I know, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later but wow. I’ve really increased my exercise in the past couple of days so I also wonder if it’s a bit of fluid retention. Also, I noticed in logging that my sodium has been up mainly from things like cottage cheese and tomato juice. It’s shocking how much sodium is in cottage cheese! The good news is that my trend weight is continuing to go down, my fat percentages continue to drop and I can physically feel the difference in my body shape and size. I will measure soon. Just keep going Donna. Keep Going. It’s not linear. (And STAY AWAY from your grandson’s JUNK).
Day 04-09/26-187.6-(Trend weight 190.1) It was a very good food day yesterday. I took it a bit easy on the exercise because I hadn’t felt very well the night before with my glucose being normal but feeling so low to me (I’m not used to it being in the “normal” range). I did get on the exercise bike but just strolled leisurely, nothing intense. I find at times, especially when watching my carbs, that I have a hard time getting in enough calories. Even though healthy fat foods are higher in calories, this is still the case. I worked hard to tweak my MFP food logging and fit in what I needed. The goal is to keep it more on the healthy side, and not just anything to make the numbers work. I don’t want my metabolism to slow down so it’s important that I get the calories as correct as possible. I’m still experimenting with the zig-zag for the weight loss. So far it’s going okay. The NSV for today is that my clothing is fitting like it’s supposed to, I’m not squeezed in or poured into the new lower sizes I’ve changed into over the past year. I need to start measuring again. Maybe I’ll start at the beginning of the month or thereabouts.

My name is Darin, and I am a 44-year old Asian woman living in Holly Springs, North Carolina. I have a great husband and two adorable but challenging 2-year old cats. I’m getting back into food logging after a weight gain hiatus and thought a 100d challenge might help.

Day 03-09/25-179.5/180.8 - NSV Went out to eat Mexican food with the in-laws and chose a healthy meal that didn’t bust my calorie count – and the payoff was delicious! Very proud of myself for not grazing on tortilla chips and packing half of the meal away in a to-go box.
Day 04-09/26-178.2/180.6 - Josh went out birding, so I went for a pre-work walk with my Pikmin game. Came back refreshed. Put my data into the trendweight calculator and was slightly bummed, but looking forward to seeing progress.5 -

@Lilylady3k Yes! The bread thing is hard. I e been eating Ezekiel low sodium sesame toast in the morning with the big slicer tomatoes I grew but I’ve done zero bread before & am considering it again but then don’t know what else is so low calorie & vegan for breakfast.
I ate protein & fruit today. Honestly didn’t have much of an appetite today from work stress. I succeeded at not buying chips as I drove past one grocery store & four minit marts on the way home…small successes lol. 😂 But it was hard. I wanted to crunchy saltiness of it.
My chunky monkey dog is participating our 100 day challenge too. So far she’s not impressed with the smaller treat bites. 🐩4 -
@deepwoodslady tbh I think it wasn't just the bread - they had lots of yummy filling like chicken and cucumber, ham and tomato, salmon .... oh, and the mayo added a lot to the calories! Maybe I should have just picked out the fillings and taken the bread home for the birds? But I'm proud of myself for avoiding all the cookies and juice and wine.4

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?

1st week goal weight: < 230
The scale is once again back under 230 ... now to get the trend there as well!!! The goal will be not to let it bounce back up above 230 like it did in July and Aug ... I hate backtracking and losing the pounds I've lost a million times before. But it is my life and I need to not let that get to me as much as just work what I know works and don't slip up. Or if I slip up let it be a one day slide ... not a week, month or year!!
In the green 2 days in a row! Now to pull together a string of them throughout the rest of this month and through October.
Getting back into the habit of journaling has been great. WHY? Because it makes me think before putting something in my mouth. Do I want DH's cookies ... yes but I've not touched them. Do I want the French bread ... yes but I've let that too go. I did give myself a very small treat. ONE and only 1 mini dark chocolate Reeses peanut butter cup last night when I skipped the nice bottle of wine DH was pouring.4 -

Have any of you ever done Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home videos? I love her older videos with just her or with the original group of people. Going to start back with them tomorrow with the 1 mile video, it’s less than 20 minutes. It’s like a light to medium aerobic but less jarring. I do skip doing the “kick backs” as my knees get sore from that.
She’s great, motivating & not annoying. Even if you are just able to do the warm up & fast forward to the cool down it’s a start.
@geminimoon73 - I have many of Leslie Samson's Walk at Home videos. But not viewed them in years since I no longer have a DVD player. Loved her active walks especially on rainy days. Might try to pull them back out.
Is there a way to transfer my DVDs to a file on my computer? Curious minds trying to solve a problem.
@Lilylady3k It's been a long time for me too with Leslie, but I used to find them on Youtube and do them from my PC screen. You also may be able to cast them to your TV if you have a smart TV or you may be able to just straight pull them up on the smart TV from youtube.
@Lilylady3k
DVDs will play in Blu-Ray players (not the other way around) and in computers that have drives. I think that is is possible to somehow save it as a file like MP4 or WMV?
My Blu-Ray player allows me to watch YouTube on my non-smart TV. I didn't know this for a long time lol.

@deepwoodslady
Maybe you can "borrow" calories from another day to get up to that 1,000
Or, 15 Almonds = 100 calories, or an Avocado = 240 calories (might be more filling)3 -
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 : - )
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.
Day 03-09/25 - 143.2 - Had an awesome day at home even though I had woken up thinking that I was still in the Motel bed. Only one hour of time difference, but I am still "off" a bit as I got used to the PST. I had really great Fitness Marshall workouts, 3 or 4 songs at a time. This set me up to be limber enough to get outside. I got so much done in the yard yesterday, but nothing in the house lol. Maybe I can get to some unpacking today. I did make a full rice cooker last night and will measure that into containers for the freezer this morning now that it has cooled. So nice to not have to go anywhere today. I did need a few grocery items, but ordered them from Walmart shipping to arrive today. Kind of laying low since if anyone sees me from either place that I work they will want me to come in and I am not ready for that : - )
Day 04-09/26 - 143.8 - Bad sleep, I awoke at 2am with a sharp pain/cramp going from my ankle all of the way up my leg. I have suffered leg cramps before and keep a heating pad beside my bed for that. Not sure I have ever had one quite like that. I wondered if it had anything to do with the Cortisone shot in my ankle 10 days ago. Got more done in the yard today. I opened up one of the coverings on one of the pepper beds to harvest it all and it really looks like it could grow a bit more. I know that I shouldn't wait too much longer. The onions in there looked ready for sure. I will take a peek at the other one today. I can pull the tomatoes at any time and let them ripen in a box, but I feel like more of them will ripen on the vine (tastier) if I can extend a little. The tomatoes that ripen in the box are what I cook my Jambalaya and stuff with, not eat in sandwiches.
Day 05-09/27 -143.4 - Back to work today. Back to only dreaming of retiring some day lol. I loved having time off.

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 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 03-09/25-188.8-(Trend weight 190.4)
Day 04-09/26-187.6-(Trend weight 190.1) It was a very good food day yesterday. I took it a bit easy on the exercise because I hadn’t felt very well the night before with my glucose being normal but feeling so low to me (I’m not used to it being in the “normal” range). I did get on the exercise bike but just strolled leisurely, nothing intense. I find at times, especially when watching my carbs, that I have a hard time getting in enough calories. Even though healthy fat foods are higher in calories, this is still the case. I worked hard to tweak my MFP food logging and fit in what I needed. The goal is to keep it more on the healthy side, and not just anything to make the numbers work. I don’t want my metabolism to slow down so it’s important that I get the calories as correct as possible. I’m still experimenting with the zig-zag for the weight loss. So far it’s going okay. The NSV for today is that my clothing is fitting like it’s supposed to, I’m not squeezed in or poured into the new lower sizes I’ve changed into over the past year. I need to start measuring again. Maybe I’ll start at the beginning of the month or thereabouts.
Day 05-09/27-187.6-(Trend weight 189.8) I didn’t expect the scale to go down every single day and today it complied. My trend weight, however, continues to drop and I know I’m on the right path here. Yesterday was a good day and today will be another good one. I’ll be taking my son to his hair appointment later. I will get him some fast food carry out (he is used to dinner afterward) and I will eat my zucchini boats that I have planned for dinner. I’m feeling pretty strong today and pretty good about how things are going overall.

Day 03-09/25-179.5/180.8 - NSV Went out to eat Mexican food with the in-laws and chose a healthy meal that didn’t bust my calorie count – and the payoff was delicious! Very proud of myself for not grazing on tortilla chips and packing half of the meal away in a to-go box.
Day 04-09/26-178.2/180.6 - Josh went out birding, so I went for a pre-work walk with my Pikmin game. Came back refreshed. Put my data into the trendweight calculator and was slightly bummed, but looking forward to seeing progress.
@DarinGettingHawtin2013 Hello Darin, We are so glad you are here. Welcome!4 -

What is Pikman? (guess that I could go and google that : - ))
I am super glad to be here! Pikmin is a phone game by the same people who did Pokemon go.... except the goal is to walk and plant flowers and collect fruit and fight big mushrooms with your little crew of pet buddies. It's really peaceful and a bit nerdy. I'll go walking and be thrilled that I planted a virtual tiger lily :-)6 -
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.
Day 03-09/25: 173.4, kinda slipped into “I don’t give a da**” mood yesterday. Paying for it today.
Day 04-09/26: 173.2
Day 05-09/27: 171.8 .. feeling hopeful that I’ll soon get out of the 170’s.
Day 06-09/28:
Day 07-09/29:
Week one goal: 170.?

Have any of you ever done Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home videos? I love her older videos with just her or with the original group of people. Going to start back with them tomorrow with the 1 mile video, it’s less than 20 minutes. It’s like a light to medium aerobic but less jarring. I do skip doing the “kick backs” as my knees get sore from that.
She’s great, motivating & not annoying. Even if you are just able to do the warm up & fast forward to the cool down it’s a start.
@geminimoon73 - I have many of Leslie Samson's Walk at Home videos. But not viewed them in years since I no longer have a DVD player. Loved her active walks especially on rainy days. Might try to pull them back out.
Is there a way to transfer my DVDs to a file on my computer? Curious minds trying to solve a problem.
@Lilylady3k It's been a long time for me too with Leslie, but I used to find them on Youtube and do them from my PC screen. You also may be able to cast them to your TV if you have a smart TV or you may be able to just straight pull them up on the smart TV from youtube.
@Lilylady3k
DVDs will play in Blu-Ray players (not the other way around) and in computers that have drives. I think that is is possible to somehow save it as a file like MP4 or WMV?
My Blu-Ray player allows me to watch YouTube on my non-smart TV. I didn't know this for a long time lol.
Thanks for the suggestions. No Blu-Ray players in my house and we no longer have a CD/DVD player for any of our Apple Computers or Laptops. We do have a smart TV so if I could figure out how to transfer them from DVD to a file on the computer I could play them. BUT then may like someone else suggested I could google them and do a YouTube version instead.4 -
Day 01-09/23-237.5 (guessing here, since I'm using an analog "dial" type scale. Think I'm going to invest in a digital scale in the next couple of days)
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.
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.
Day 3 - 09/25: 241.6 - Weight is up from before, but now at least I know it's accurate and should be consistent from now on. Don't use a broken scale, folks!
Day 04-09/26-...was a bust. Super busy with school today and by the time I remembered to record anything, it was nearly day 5 anyway.
Day 05-09/27-241.4 (Trend weight 242.4--thank you @deepwoodslady and @Lilylady3k!) Another busy day, but I remembered to weigh in and the trend points downward. Even if school fries my brain, it's getting me walking across campus, and that's more walking than I was doing before!

Day 2 86.0 45 min walk

--- 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

Day 05-09/27-178.1/180.3 - Woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep. Days like this it is very easy to just say “eff it” and eat whatever but I’m really making an effort to stay focused. Did okay. But exhausted!
