    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 - 142.0 - Another terrible sleep plagued with leg/foot cramps. I might only have one job to go to today though, so that would be great.

    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 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

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


    Day 01 - Sept 18 – 5:42 of 20 reps of the 3: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses
    Day 02 - Sept 19 – 6:48 of the 3
    Day 03 - Sept 20 – 7:38 of the 3
    Day 04 - Sept 21 – 6:48 - My elbows were sore in bed last night, could be any of the 3 exercises. I might try to skip it for tonight. I will copy paste this over to the new 100 as well.
    Day 05 - Sept 22 – Skipped, on purpose
    Day 06 - Sept 23 – 9:51 of the 3
    Day 07 - Sept 24 – 8:13 of the 3 - felt so great to put my legs up straight
    Day 08 - Sept 25 – 8:15 of the 3
    Day 09 - Sept 26 – 7:36 of the 3
    Day 10 - Sept 27 – 9:04 of the 3
    Day 11 - Sept 28 – 8:20 of the 3 - I just start the stopwatch when I begin. Conscious of trying to keep it slower for better results as @Lilylady3k suggested.

    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 I had a bit of a sugar fest to celebrate the start of a new, 20 week online course. I don't know with accuracy what the energy value of it is, I'm going to reset the over eating counter to zero and start again
    Day 7 86.2 5925 KJ, 2x45 min walks, losing 82 grams a day according to spreadsheet
    Day 8 86.0

    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?

    Day 06-09/28-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. I think the scale has a sense of humor and is playing pranks on me.

    Day 07-09/29-xxxxx- 71.9 kg

    WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.4 kg gain. Not off to the best of starts. Trying to keep the total calories in at less than 1600 regardless of amount lost through exercise.
    Accumulated Loss or Gain:

    Day 08-09/30-xxxxx- 72 kg. Normally I drink my coffee black, but today I had my annual treat of pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. (the smallest size)

    100 Days of Accountability 9/23 - 12/31
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 62, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 232 (9/22/2023)
    Challenge Goal: <219
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.

    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023)

    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Get out of the 230s!!!!!!
    * Recover lowest during round #15 226.2

    * Into the teens again: <220

    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195

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

    My goal for 2023 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

    Tracking: W=walk miles, SF=strong & fit strength class 1 hr, B=bike minutes, S=swim laps, A=water/agua ounces, J=tracked/journaled all my food cal/net carbs, V=vitamin, AF=alcohol Free
    Day / Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Comments report day of activity

    Tracking: W=walk miles, SF=strong & fit strength class 1 hr, B=bike minutes, S=swim laps, A=water/agua ounces, J=tracked/journaled all my food cal/net carbs, V=vitamin, AF=alcohol Free

    Day 01: 09/23 - 231.7 / 231.8
    Day 02: 09/24 - 232.4 / 231.8 - V, W .5 mile
    Day 03: 09/25 - 231.1 / 231.7 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, S&F form video. A 80oz, J V AF. Getting back into better habits!
    Day 04: 09/26 - 230.2 / 231.4 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V AF.
    Day 05: 09/27 - 229.3 / 230.7 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V AF. I got real snacky in the afternoon diving into kettle chips DH eats for lunch. Measured and tracked and moved on. But I can’t do that everyday! Still stayed under my personal targets of 1400 calories and less than 100 net carbs which is working until it doesn't. I know I lost 40+ lbs quickly on Keto in 2020-2021 targeting less than 20 and then 20-50 net carbs but I just don't think that is sustainable in the long run for me ... given that I gained almost all of it back!
    Day 06: 09/28 - 229.0 / 230.1 - W 1.6 mile (no car so walked to and from ESL class I volunteer teach), A 64 oz, J V AF. Still in the green but selected 2 Oreo Thin cookies for an afternoon snack then grabbed a banana so I wouldn’t eat more! These actions took me over my 100 net carb target.
    Day 07: 09/29 - 227.6 / 229.2 - No exercise skipped my S&F class to drive into town to pick up my granddaughter and visit my other one at daycare. A 64 oz, JV. Today I’m chasing my granddaughter as I babysit. Oh and @dawnbgetheathy DH is cooking 2 really large racks of ribs since my son & his family are joining us for dinner. Wishing you could join us! Trying to clean out the freezer and those take up a lot of space!

    Week 1 goal weight: < 230
    Week 1 actual weight: 227.6
    1st Week Weight Loss: 4.4
    Accumulated weight loss: 4.4
    Challenge weight to go: 8.6
    First week back on a real diet and not just playing around / pretending. Journaling kept my calories and net carbs in check for a first time since May earlier this year! Now the challenge will be to keep it up!

    Day 08: 09/30 - 228.4 / 228.8 - Bump up in weight expected with ribs and wine. Today I’m planning to weed weed weed! And I really want to get out my fall decorations … usually they are out by the first of Sept but with the heat and vacation I missed my normal routines. Also I’m going to get on the bike at some point.
    Day 09: 10/01 -
    Day 10: 10/02 -
    Day 11: 10/03 -
    Day 12: 10/04 -
    Day 13: 10/05 -

Hey, no popcorn today. Glad that passed 😊

    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.
