    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


    145320379.png

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

    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 #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 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.

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    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)

    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.

    I will continue to work on batwing arms and flabby thighs. I will also try to engage in some floor/standing/chair exercising to tighten stomach area especially.

    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 01-09/23-180.0/181.1
    Day 02-09/24-179.8/181.0
    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!

    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.

    I want to lose at least 4.9 kg in this round. Bolded numbers means a new low.
    Day 1 86.7 kg 2x45 min walks
    Day 2 86.0 45 min walk
    Day 3 85.9 2x45 min walks
    --- 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!

    I haven't put a disk in my player in...years, but it makes one of my TVs smart. My other TV is smart, but it seems to work better if I cast youtube from my phone to it than its own youtube.
    I see DVD donations in your future : - )

    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.

    Day 06-09/28 - 142.0 - Well that was nice to see!!

    Day 07-09/29-xxxxx-

    Week 1 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 1 actual weight - Started the week at 143.2

    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 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!

    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. later: Once again late evening snacking zero’d out this loss. *sigh* Really need to get a handle on that habit.
    90 minute hike on gasline w/Cindy.

    Day 06-09/28: 173. Regretting last nite’s snacking. Happy with not feeling hip etc stiffness or discomfort after yesterday’s hike. Today I will: 10 water, 30 min circuit workout, max of 23 WW pts. Hubby is going to bake sourdough bread this afternoon so Please Lord, Give me Strength! Thinking of rearranging my afternoon so I’m out of the house.

    Day 07-09/29:

    Week one goal: 170.?
    Week 1 actual wt: _____
