Hi
I am Dawn
5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 63 years old
Brand new year! Of course going to try to take off some greasy pounds.
Week 1 Goal: 143.2 (beginning of last 100)
Week 1 actual weight: 145.6 - Start weight of the week 145.6
Day 08-01/08 - 145.8 - 1126 calories consumed yesterday, lots of activity including ice skating for 47 minutes. I will be doing that every Sunday, the only day when there is public skating at an arena. It was awesome, loved it so much. Of course dinner was late from working late. This is how it is going to be, can't change that or I would only have around 700 calories from the day. No time to eat at my night job, and most days I am running from one job to the next so only have the time to eat a tiny bit in between.
Day 09-01/09 - 146.0 - Kind of expected my weight to be a bit more this morning, I was in bed like 5-10 minutes after eating last night, not a good thing to do, and not a whole bunch of hours before my weigh-in. I need to get back to adding 1/2 to a cup of rice each day to sweep out my insides. 1280 calories yesterday, so got a bit more into me. Wednesday and Thursday are my 2 days when I only work one job, so I will be able to eat dinner much earlier. Hoping for a woosh : - )
Day 10-01/10 - 144.8 - Hmm, wasn't very "good" but lost weight? 1568 calories. As usual, lots of activity including 30 minutes of shoveling snow in the morning before work. Was getting outside for a bit the difference? So hard for me to do on days when I run from one job to the next. One job only today and tomorrow (so far) so looking to have dinner at a normal time instead of very late.
Day 11-01/11 - 145.4 - After eating I was suddenly exhausted and needed to go to bed. That has happened to me before. Happy to have only one job again today, dinner will be at a reasonable hour.
Day 12-01/12 - 146.2 - Quite a jump, but I feel leaner than that this morning. Day 5 of 6 for my normal job, Day 1 of 5 at my second job today. Minus 31 here this morning! I had a nice hot bath while watching the rest of the Golden Globes from my PVR last night, and put my PJs into the dryer so that they were very warm to put on after my bath. Slept great. Definitely too cold to do anything outside, so I might as well work and make $$, heating bills will likely be high.

Day 01-01/01 - DNW
Day 02-01/02 - 145.3 All sugar & water retention in this gain as a result of a fabulous Holiday season with friends and family, but I’m not depressed about it. I know what I have to do. Now the work begins.
Day 03-01/03 - 144.7 Food intake wasn’t the best yesterday, but it was better than all of last week.
My daughter returns to college today (sad), and so I’ll begin my exercise routine later today.
Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [ ] enough water [ ] exercise
Day 04-01/04 - 144.4 Stayed away from the leftover Christmas goodies and though I did not go
overboard on carbs, I could have done better. Today is the day I get on the exercise wagon. [I think I said
that yesterday].
Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [ ] exercise
Day 05-01/05 - 144.8 A little snacking last night but kept the 2 main meals low carb, so not sure
where this uptick is from. And it’s the weekend – yikes – I’ll try to keep the cocktails to a minimum.
Concert tomorrow night (Old Dominion).
Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√] exercise: 15 min core, 20 min upper body, 30 min cycling

Day 07-01/07 – 143.5 Home is finally getting back to normal (decorations put away, cleaning out the fridge, etc) after the Holiday festivities which all happen at my house. Though I love all the gatherings – from Thanksgiving thru New Year’s – there’s a lot of time and effort that goes into it. So last night I treated myself to some cocktails and live music (Old Dominion concert). Great start to the New Year!
Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]

Day 08-01/08 – 144.1 Had a really good day yesterday as far as eating goes. Homemade vegetable soup and a nice salad for dinner. Also watched ‘You Are What You Eat’ on Netflix. Very eye-opening.

Day 11-01/11 – 143.6 Eating was horrible yesterday. Plus, 2nd day of no exercise/movement. Need to nip this in the bud before it gets really hard to start-up again.
Yesterday: [ ] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [ ]
exercise:
Day 12-01/12 – 144.1 I fully expected a decrease on the scale this morning. Both eating and exercising were on point yesterday. And I do feel less bloated. I guess the jump in weight could be the result of my binge 2 days ago. And now it’s the weekend… oh lord.

Thoughts:
While other challenges may show bigger losses (or gains), it really depends on what date you are looking at with me because I do go up & down quite a lot, especially with my frequent required day trips. However, from Jan 1st through Dec 31st, I lost 16.0 pounds in the full year of 2023. That is what I have lost and KEPT OFF. While I am very proud of that, I know that the road ahead is long and will be a difficult one since I still have so far to go and so many health related obstacles in my way. Each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I can make, no matter how big or small. I am also grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.

Day 10-01/10-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)
Day 11-01/11-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Still no scale and UPS has already delivered to the neighbors so it won’t be coming today. Oh well, I usually cannot weigh on Friday mornings anyway due to the bus schedule for DGS as weigh-in would be too early. I’ll get in what exercise I can today although I will be babysitting from now until Saturday. DGS does not make it easy! Have a great Thursday everyone!
Day 12-01/12-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Still no scale delivery today but I usually don’t weigh in on Fridays anyway due to the school bus and the fosamax with water. We are expecting approx 24” of total snow today and tomorrow. Schools are closing early today as it will be getting started by 3:00. I’ll be getting lots of shoveling in along with my son’s help but I have to be careful since the ticker is not as healthy as it used to be. We are just getting over the last snow storm from a few days ago. I hope we do not lose power!

65 years old. 5' 8". Started back in March 2023 at 85.5 kg, down from my all time highest of 100 kg (220 lb) Since participating in the last two 100 Day Challenges I'm down to 70 kg (154 lb). My aim this time is to drop another 5 kg and reach my ultimate goal weight of 65 kg (143 lb) - and keep it off for the next two years at least - hopefully forever!
Day 01-01/01-- 70 kg. Waist 30.5 ". Hips 40 "
Day 02-01/02-- 70.2 kg. This is like investing for retirement in the stock market. The advisor told me 30 years ago "Think long term. Don't chase high returns for quick gains - aim for slow and steady returns. Don't worry about daily fluctuations - as long as you stick with it the overall trend will be upward." Happy now I took his advice.
Found a jar of Kalamata olives in the pantry. Delicious! but I'm trying to limit myself to 4 daily. And yes! - I already got rid of the cheese and crackers I'd normally have with them.
Day 03-01/03-- 69.9 kg.
Day 04-01/04-- 69.6 kg. who would've thunk there could be marshmallows in the pantry and I am only eating two per day?! Sloooowly breaking the impulse to Eat All The Goodies Quick while they're around because Lord knows when there'll be any more - food insecurity issues from childhood.
Day 05-01/05-- 69.5 kg. Yay! Hit my 1st week goal already - just have to maintain for another two days rather than going off the rails and overcelebrating with treats to reward myself for losing the weight.....
Day 06-01/06-- 69.8 kg. I started knitting a lace scarf last month. It is very fine yarn on tiny needles, and I can only work on it in daylight. For the last 4 weeks I have been knitting 8 rows a day, and now my scarf is 22 inches long! I was feeling very proud of my progress and thinking it was a good lesson in perseverance with the weight loss plan as well. Well! so today I went to pick it up and somehow - pulled out the needle! Oh, ye knitters of the world, weep with me.....
Day 07-01/07-- 69 kg!!! Ummm.... this maybe TMI, but has anyone ever weighed themselves, then needed to go, then felt a strong desire to weigh themselves again - to see how much they dumped? ....not to boast - but, 0.5 kg? like, over a pound? Wow.
Week 1 Goal: 69.5 kg.
Week 1 actual weight: 69 kg.
Day 08-01/08--69.8 kg.... ???
Day 09-01/09-- 69.2 kg. Grandma used to say "What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts." I'm guessing this was originally an allusion to the old style carnival where you paid to go on the rides, but maybe the barker was also running some kind of "chance to get your money back" gambling dodge as well? Anyway, it seems appropiate to eating for weight loss - cut out a slice of bread here and lose some, drink a can of soft drink "just this once" and gain it back.
Day 10-01/10-- DNW
Day 11-01/11-- 68.9 kg. I'm always hearing "eat protein for breakfast" and "breakfast like a king", but I just can't do that. A big plate of bacon and eggs always leaves me feeling uncomfortably full, weighed down and heavy. I just don't want to go for my usual morning walk, whereas a bowl of oatmeal, or a couple slices of wholewheat toast, with a piece of fruit, fills me until lunchtime, while still feeling light and active. I'm thinking there are many cultures where no, or just a light breakfast is the norm - it's really only the last 200 years in the Western world that 3 meals a day has become the norm. Even in the 60s, when I was a kid, snacking was not the usual thing - there weren't all the granola bars and cheesy chippy things we have today. I'm wondering how much of being told what we "should" eat, is actually real science based, and how much is funded by food manufacturers who want us to buy their products - how many orders for pizza delivery have been placed after seeing an ad? and deciding then "I'm too tired to cook".
Day 12-01/12-- 68.8 kg.
Day 13-01/13-- 69.2 kg. We are having a heat wave and it's exhausting to walk outside. Also I'm on medication which makes my skin more photo sensitive, so no to being lots in the sun. Fortunately, my appetite has decreased with the heat and I don't feel like cooking, so lots of raw fruit and veggies are on the menu.

Week 2:
Day 08-01/08: 174.2 Work continues to be challenging b/c of equipment break-downs.
Day 09-01/09: 174.8 Repair guy never showed up plus large order came in. Not an easy day but tomorrow I’m off! Did 3 sets of 12 reps of: 5# Bicep curls, 5# upright rows, 5# hammer curls. Struggled to complete these and really felt it in L shoulder and arm down to elbow. Wasn’t aware of strength decline in biceps etc. Blows my mind to have to drop to 3# wts b/c used to sue 8 and 10’s, but . . . wow, talk about baby steps to improve fitness.
Day 10-01/10: 174 WW pts = 26. K, holidays etc are all over; now to see what I can achieve in the next 90 days.
Day 11-01/11: 176.2 WW pts = 34. -28C outside plus windy so “an inside day”; as the temp drops the house siding is popping and banging.
Day 12-01/12: 174.4 WW pts = 41

I was only in the house half an hour after work before I went out again so I had a McDonald's (just a burger and a pie, about 850 cal total) but didn't have opportunity to snack or eat more than I should. I don't drive so walking to and from the pub was 40 min walk each way too.

I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I am proud to say that I finally dropped during the last challenge! My initial goal is 175 – a weight where I feel healthy and fit in my clothes again –but who knows, I may decide to go lower since this plan is working so well for me. I’ll see how I feel once I get there….WHICH I WILL!!! (It is so great after struggling for so many years to simply KNOW I WILL GET THERE!!)For anyone interested, I’m doing Intermittent Fasting, with an eating window between 2pm and 9pm. I’ve been following the Fast800 plan with low-carb / Mediterranean-style diet, and have recently started loosening the reins on the weekends (what they’d call the 2:5 plan I think?) I also aim for moderate exercise and a yoga stretch 6 days a week- I do Burpee Girl Youtube workouts and yoga stretches using the Down Dog app.
Day 01-01/01: 183.4 - I missed weighing in during the last week of the last challenge because of holiday craziness, and given I gained during the holiday week I am posting my lowest weight here so that I’m accurately tracking my overall weight loss.
Day 02-01/02: skipped - first day back on track after a week of debauchery
Day 03-01/03: 188.8 – Burpee Girl cardio/weight workout & yoga stretch, and first day stepping on the scale…it could be worse! Onward & downward!
Day 04-01/04 – skipped – had a follow-up sonogram that turned out to be clear, so good news! Walked to and from the subway through the park for my exercise, and remembered there was a time in my life not so long ago I wasn’t able to do this because of my knee issues. Starting the year out with gratitude!
Day 05-01/05: 184.6 – Yay! A nice water whoosh! It’s thrilling to be almost back to my lowest weight so quickly. It’s always a struggle to “start” again but by Day 3 or 4 I feel so good!!! Did a longer BP workout alternating cardio & weights, those are my favorites – plus a nice stretch.

WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN 1.2 pound gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.2 pound gain
Day 08-01/08: 185.4 – Just did a BG 30 min tabata cardio / standing abs workout plus 20 min yoga stretch , and I’m definitely feeling the difference being able to go deeper into stretches as my belly slowly gets out of my way. I did some yummy food prep yesterday – made rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, then a cauliflower rice / mushroom “risotto” with chopped broccoli for my dinners that is so delicious I’ve been making it the past 3 weeks, I am obsessed! And also made a version of turkey chili that is 90% veggies and is now going to go into my rotation for lunches, I was almost shocked it came out so well. Both are big hearty servings with just over 200 calories each…ready for the week!
Day 09-01/09: 183.4 – ok, back to pre-holiday weight. Time to break new ground! Did a BG 20 min strength workout and 10 min yoga stretch – enough to calm down the stress and anxiety I have over a situation with my daughter…so hard to figure out how to help adult children struggling with mental health issues, and then I’m stressed because I feel like I’m falling behind at work trying to help…think I have at least an initial solution though so time to get on with my day!
Day 10-01/10: 183.6 – Do you ever wake up and just “feel” skinnier? Like you can suck your stomach in and it makes a difference? Ha ha -that’s how I was feeling this morning, and did a slightly higher intensity 30 min BG kickboxing/standing abs workout and a 15 min yoga stretch. I swear the yoga app (Down Dog) seems to know what I need to stretch, as my thighs were a little sore from all the squats yesterday and today’s stretch really worked them out – while yesterday I needed more upper body and it was right on track again! Because I was feeling skinny I took my measurements today – it’s been a month since the last time, and once again I was measuring over and over bc I couldn’t believe I lost an inch and a half on my hips, and half inch from my waist!! These numbers are getting down to ones I haven’t seen in close to 5 years, it’s really exciting!! I have a journal I started last January with weights & measurements, so I’m just re-using those same calendars for my new entries…seeing the old numbers amid the new is a stark reminder to see how far I’ve come, and to never go back!!!
Day 11-01/11: 182.0 – Hurray! Finally into new territory after the holidays – this also is officially 45 pounds down for me! 7 more pounds till my first goal (that I’ve had for at least 5 years and never made .) Did a nice 25 min BG tabata workout and 15 min stretch.
Day 12-01/12: 182.0 – this will be my final weight of the week, since I don’t weigh on weekends. Happy with this result!
Day 13-01/13: skipped – today will do a pool workout with the hubby, food shopping and food prep. I am going to do the exact same food prep as last week because it was delicious!! Also I tend to go in phases, eating one meal for a long while and then transitioning to something else…for now I am loving my (mostly veggie) turkey chili, and my “faux” mushroom risotto with cauliflower rice. My freezer is still stocked with Eggroll in a Bowl and turkey zucchini noodle soup so I am in good shape!!

More important than this week's "boost" to my motivation, I've been logging in, weighing myself daily and eating good food. Brushes with health issues that could easily become debilitating are what motivate me to do this now, and do it right. I'm not worried about the bikini next summer- no need to scare the grandchildren. But I am concerned about carrying boxes from the basement and groceries from the car.5 -

Hi
I am Dawn
5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 63 years old
Brand new year! Of course going to try to take off some greasy pounds.
Week 1 Goal: 143.2 (beginning of last 100)
Week 1 actual weight: 145.6 - Start weight of the week 145.6
Day 08-01/08 - 145.8 - 1126 calories consumed yesterday, lots of activity including ice skating for 47 minutes. I will be doing that every Sunday, the only day when there is public skating at an arena. It was awesome, loved it so much. Of course dinner was late from working late. This is how it is going to be, can't change that or I would only have around 700 calories from the day. No time to eat at my night job, and most days I am running from one job to the next so only have the time to eat a tiny bit in between.
Day 09-01/09 - 146.0 - Kind of expected my weight to be a bit more this morning, I was in bed like 5-10 minutes after eating last night, not a good thing to do, and not a whole bunch of hours before my weigh-in. I need to get back to adding 1/2 to a cup of rice each day to sweep out my insides. 1280 calories yesterday, so got a bit more into me. Wednesday and Thursday are my 2 days when I only work one job, so I will be able to eat dinner much earlier. Hoping for a woosh : - )
Day 10-01/10 - 144.8 - Hmm, wasn't very "good" but lost weight? 1568 calories. As usual, lots of activity including 30 minutes of shoveling snow in the morning before work. Was getting outside for a bit the difference? So hard for me to do on days when I run from one job to the next. One job only today and tomorrow (so far) so looking to have dinner at a normal time instead of very late.
Day 11-01/11 - 145.4 - After eating I was suddenly exhausted and needed to go to bed. That has happened to me before. Happy to have only one job again today, dinner will be at a reasonable hour.
Day 12-01/12 - 146.2 - Quite a jump, but I feel leaner than that this morning. Day 5 of 6 for my normal job, Day 1 of 5 at my second job today. Minus 31 here this morning! I had a nice hot bath while watching the rest of the Golden Globes from my PVR last night, and put my PJs into the dryer so that they were very warm to put on after my bath. Slept great. Definitely too cold to do anything outside, so I might as well work and make $$, heating bills will likely be high.
Day 13-01/13 - 144.0 - Go figure scale. Scrolling travel sites with my coffee this morning, going in May with an old friend who will be turning 60 on our trip. Today it was minus 36!! Yikes. Should have slept later for my 2 jobs today, but didn't. I guess that I will be tired lol.
