    Day 72-12/03: 174.2 Worked. The relief cook was called in so it was a smooth day. However her food is too hard to resist so my lunch ended up being 19/23daily points ☹, But a relaxing day with no drama.

    Day 73-12/04: 174.6 Worked. Happy day b/c manager asked Linda, the relief cook, if she’d come in and do Christmas dinner. Whew! It’ll be a good day now. Too big a meal for a newbie to do. Our twins’s 49th birthday. Caesar salad and black forest cake … good visit but I’m tired.

    Day 74-12/05: 174.2 Usually by the end of my shift my foot is sore but started with a sore foot which only got worse. Brutal but got thru the day. Not sure if it’s gout or not but chugged a gallon ( figurative) of water and took a gout pill. Ice and rest.

    Day 75-12/06: 172.8 Back and forth day canceling vehicle licence, renewing prescriptions etc etc. Booked a phone appt in a couple of weeks then an in-person visit Jan 2nd with the aim to beginning the process of being referred to an orthopedic surgeon. Son and g/f came for dinner so last of big meals until Christmas. Tomorrow I’m driving a friend to an eye appt, 3 hrs north. We had some snow today so keeping fingers crossed the forecasts are right and there’s no snow happening tomorrow.

    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 10 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 10 Actual weight: 144.8 - started the week at 144.2

    Day 71-12/02 - 144.4 - Had a wonderful pedicure after work. She is a nurse and my feet have taken a pounding over the years. So lovely. Prosecco and Camembert followed. Snowing today so beautifully. I will definitely be getting out to shovel later on when it slows. My boots are in my car though lol. I love the snow!!

    Day 72-12/03 - 145.2 - Cooking today, then going for a hike with a friend. We are due for another Arctic River this year, heavy rains and +6 degrees are in the forecast this coming week. I would much rather have snow : - (

    Day 73-12/04 - 145.8 - I ate a lot of calories yesterday, more than usual, but mostly healthy. 10 portions of Borscht now in the freezer. I did this batch with Farmer's Sausage, so it is nice and smoky. I had bought myself a new giant stock pot, red : - ) It worked great and was easy to clean enamel. I also came down with something late Saturday, like many of you. Runny nose, sore sinus and eye, but only on one side of my face weirdly. I took two Nyquil capsules before bed and it cleared up within 1/2 hour. The night before I couldn't sleep with the runny nose. So far looking like an easy workweek ahead, but shifts could add as the week goes along. More cooking could get done : - )

    Day 74-12/05 - 145.6 - Picked up a shift at the other job for tonight, so mixing up some tuna for a quick bite in between jobs today. Arctic River beginning to happen here for over the next few days. My cold is much better today, I think that I was in bed at 7:30 after a nice hot bath.

    Day 75-12/06 - 146.2 - Of course not happy with this. 1400 calories, lots of activity. Definitely feeling bloated.

    Day 76-12/07 - 147.0 - Still gaining. I have had a good deficit every day between input and output. I started getting a headache at my first job of the day yesterday - I don't get headaches. Took 2 Tylenol, no relief, took 2 more before starting my next job. I still have it this morning. I took 1/2 of a sleeping pill last night wondering if my headache was due to lack of sleep. Now I am groggy with a headache lol. A friend told me that lots of people are getting headaches because of this weird humid weather caused by the Arctic River. Normally sunny Cranbrook is grey and raining. Can't get motivated to do much this morning. I will definitely do some Fitness Marshall songs before getting ready for work.

    Day 77-12/08 - xxxxx-

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

    Round 7: October 30 - Nov 19 - 11.25

    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


    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


    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 #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10—195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    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 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 74-12/05-180.6-(Trend weight 181.7)

    Day 75-12/06-179.4-(Trend weight 181.4) So FINALLY, after multiple travels, a large food-infested birthday party and a Thanksgiving Feast, CRAWLING, Scratching, HISSING, begging, SNARLING, fighting, I am back into the 170’s. However, I need to see my 177 to feel firmly planted so that one meal, one social event, one travel doesn’t put me back over. Plenty of those are coming! I wish I felt better so I could get in a bit more exercise but I’m still full of phlegm and coughing badly. I’m doing my best to get up some of my Christmas Décor so at least I’m getting in more steps with more time on my feet and less time on the couch. Fa-la-la-la-la.

    Day 76-12/07-179.2-(Trend weight 181.2) Today I realized that since my handymen haven’t been coming for reno projects (since mid Oct), I have been able to drop a few pounds. Clearly I can plan my meals and mealtimes better. Also I can exercise in more ways and more often. While I can’t wait for them to finish the “big” projects they are working on elsewhere and return to my projects, the privacy and freedom has been nice and beneficial too. I’ve also been getting a bit more sleep since I don’t have to set an alarm most days for their arrival. I’m sure it will be challenging once again when they return. But in the meantime, I am going to grab the ball and run with it as much and as often as I possibly can, even in spite of the upcoming Holidays and commitments. On another note, I took a turn for the worse last night with this illness. I’ve been pushing myself with decorating and online shopping. I babysit DGS today, overnight and tomorrow so I’ll have to keep him at arms length. If I’m not any better, I will definitely have to travel to an emergency room this weekend for xrays. Ugh!

    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!

    Day 40-11/01 - 143.6 Not too bad considering the wine & pizza I had last night. Didn’t go overboard though so that’s a good thing.

    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.

    WEEK 6 GAIN: +.8 [weigh-in: 143.6]
    Accumulated Gain: +.8 [Challenge start: 142.8]


    Day 43-11/04 - 142.7 Surprised at this number but I’ll take it. Got a cardio workout in yesterday... finally!

    Day 44-11/05 - 143.4

    Day 45-11/06 - 144.3

    Day 46-11/07 - 143.5 Back down a pound. Whew! It's a beautiful day here, although quite breezy.

    Day 47-11/08 - 143.6

    Day 48-11/09 - 144.9 Too much chili & rice yesterday. My favorite!

    Day 49-11/10 - 143.2

    Day 50-11/11 - DNW

    Day 51-11/12 - DNW

    Day 52-11/13 - 145 No words. Disappointed

    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.

    WEEK 8 GAIN: +.7 [weigh in: 143.9]
    Accumulated Gain: +1.10 [Challenge start: 142.8]

    Day 57-11/18 - 142.1 Whoa…. Should I believe my scale? Almost a 2 lb drop in a day. Eating was on point yesterday and I stopped eating at about 7pm. Workout after dinner: 50-min bike ride.

    Day 58-11/19 - DNW

    Day 59-11/20 - 143.1 Busy week: full-time job, cleaning & prepping for Thanksgiving. I need to find time to fit in my workouts. Excited to see my daughter who flies in with her roommate on TG morning.

    Day 60-11/21 - 143.0 Not the greatest with food choices yesterday, but what else is new? One more trip to Costco this morning and I’ll be ready to start TG food prep tomorrow. Will be decorating and setting-up today. Last night’s workout after dinner: 45-min bike ride.

    Day 61-11/22 - 143.7

    Day 62-11/23 - DNW Forgot all about weighing this morning. Hit the ground running preparing for our Thanksgiving shindig.

    Day 63-11/24 - DNW Continued celebrating with family and food.

    WEEK 9 LOSS OR GAIN: DNW
    Accumulated Loss or Gain:


    Day 64-11/25 - DNW I will not be weighing this week. Not ready to see the damage and I don’t want to have any regrets as I really enjoyed the long weekend, especially with my daughter being home.

    Day 65-11/26 - DNW

    Day 66-11/27 - DNW Back on track today.

    Day 67-11/28 - DNW Thanksgiving weekend was definitely a trigger. Slowly weaning off the carb/sugar cravings. Yesterday was ok and today should be better. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min high intensity bike ride, 30-min “walking” bike ride.

    Day 68-11/29 - DNW

    Day 69-11/30 - DNW Stopped eating by 7:45pm last night. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min chest & back, 5-min core, 30-min biking. 10-min stretch class this morning, which I hope to do on a daily basis to combat pain & stiffness and to help with flexibility.

    Day 70-12/01 -

    WEEK 10 LOSS OR GAIN:
    Accumulated Loss or Gain:


    Day 71-12/02 - DNW

    Day 72-12/03 - DNW

    Day 73-12/04 - 144.5 - No words. It shouldn’t be this hard.

    Day 74-12/05 - 143.9 – Lost a few ounces but I still feel the bloat and one of my old faithful tops is fitting pretty snugly. I know what I have to do. Got my stretching in this morning. Trying to make this become part of my morning routine. Otherwise, I foresee stiffness in my lower back and hips becoming a chronic issue. Sunny and breezy here today. Currently 75° F.

    Day 75-12/06 - 142.6 Morning stretch [√]. Feeling a little better today. Inflammation has subsided a wee bit. Did not go crazy with food yesterday, and no potato chips!
    Yesterday’s workout: 20-min Pilates, 30 min. spin class, 10 min cool down bike ride.

    Day 76-12/07 - 142.2 Body feeling much better. I’m sure on top of this week’s improved eating habits and exercising, vitamin supplements are helping. However, I’ve been feeling quite fatigued lately. Last time that happened I had a vitamin D deficiency. Hoping I can get in this week for a lab test.
    Yesterday’s workout: 10-min core strength, 20-min glutes & legs strength, 40-min bike ride.

    Day 77-12/08 -

    Thank you all so much for your kind words about Molly. I still haven't processed it and keep thinking I see her...and then have to remember all over again. :'( The grief is a little overwhelming but am just putting one foot in front of the other and doing the best I can. I really do appreciate this group!

    @dawnbgethealthy - It was a very spicy marinara which went wonderful with the petite syrah.

    Oh, that totally makes sense. Spicy or game-y with Syrah or Shiraz.
    Mexican food goes well with those.
    Old school of me to think that Marinara has to be accompanied by some sort of Chianti : - )

    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 75-12/06-179.4-(Trend weight 181.4)

    Day 76-12/07-179.2-(Trend weight 181.2) Today I realized that since my handymen haven’t been coming for reno projects (since mid Oct), I have been able to drop a few pounds. Clearly I can plan my meals and mealtimes better. Also I can exercise in more ways and more often. While I can’t wait for them to finish the “big” projects they are working on elsewhere and return to my projects, the privacy and freedom has been nice and beneficial too. I’ve also been getting a bit more sleep since I don’t have to set an alarm most days for their arrival. I’m sure it will be challenging once again when they return. But in the meantime, I am going to grab the ball and run with it as much and as often as I possibly can, even in spite of the upcoming Holidays and commitments. On another note, I took a turn for the worse last night with this illness. I’ve been pushing myself with decorating and online shopping. I babysit DGS today, overnight and tomorrow so I’ll have to keep him at arms length. If I’m not any better, I will definitely have to travel to an emergency room this weekend for xrays. Ugh!

    Day 77-12/08-179.0-(Trend weight 181.0) An internal celebration today and another near one! The celebration: I have officially moved from the Obese category to the Overweight category by the skin of my teeth. Literally, by decimal points I have made it. My last super big deal accomplishment was getting into Onederland and this, my friends is so much bigger and more important to me than even that. It is not just a number to me. It is a symbol of health. My near celebration today: I am 0.1 point away from my lowest weight in 5 ½ years according to any records I have. I really thought I would hit it today but life doesn’t always cater to us, now does it? You can bet that I am going to be stellar, as perfect as a human can, fastidious and compulsive even, to get that 178.9 or less tomorrow! Progress has been so slow this week although my diet has been very good since the birthday party last weekend. However, due to being so sick I have had no real structured exercise for most of the days. Just on my feet more than usual due to decorating but that’s about it. It is really showing me how much exercise helps. I’ll get back at it, as soon as I am strong enough. This sickness has not subsided WHATSOEVER. These next two challenges are going to allow me to put all my new knowledge into practice and not just theory if I’ll just try. I mean, REALLY try. But fear not, I am still your biggest fan and still over here in your corner cheering you on, even if it’s with a box of tissue in hand!
