    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

    Week 2 Goal: Didn't put one this week
    Week 2 actual weight: 145.0 - started the week at 145.8

    Day 15-01/15 - 145.4 - Rushing this morning. 2 jobs today and tomorrow


    Week 3 Goal: 143.4
    Week 3 actual weight: 144.8

    Day 22-01/22 - 146.4 - What? Argh. Going to try not to get upset about it. Everything was on track yesterday.

    Day 23-01/23 - 145.8 - 1137 calories in, big calorie burns, so hoping/expecting a woosh. But maybe not, I have only one job today and tomorrow so might get a bit indulgent. Ridiculous weather, everything is melting now and freezing overnight. Above freezing all day. I find this hard on the joints and the body. Cancun in late May, keeping that in my mind : - )

    Day 24-01/24 - 145.4 - I plan to have rice tonight. I know (for me) that I should have it every day to "sweep" out my intestines. When I get away from that I gain weight. Tonnes of calorie burn yesterday, I feel like today will be too since I am working only one job today and plan to chip away and shovel ice and slush from my parking spot on the street. It looks like it will be warm during the day for another week until another deep freeze.

    Day 25-01/25 - 144.8 - Rice last night and will be again tonight. I sauteed up enough onions and peppers for 2 nights, took portioned rice out of the freezer. I am adding chickpeas to tonight's. Last night I had a side of sliced cucumber in a mixture of Tahini and sour cream, tonight's cucumber slices will be in Tzatziki. I have had a very sore shoulder for about a month or more, salonpas sort of work. One of the girls at the restaurant offered to massage it for me, and since I wasn't going to my second job immediately I actually had a little time. She really got in there. Later in the evening it was really really sore. I found a muscle/back pain bottle of pills and took 2 before bed. Voila, felt better this morning I guess from the combination of the 2.

    Day 26-01/26 - 146.2 - Boy I go up and down a lot! 2XTMI as the rice is starting to pull stuff out of my guts that has been sitting there. Anticipating a better number tomorrow morning.

    Day 27-01/27 - 144.6 - Ice pack on my sore shoulder. Dang.

    Day 28-01/28 -

    Week 4 Goal: 143.8
    Week 4 actual weight:

    Start weight of this 100: 145.6
    Measurements: Waist - 33", Hips 37"

    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.

    Day 14-01/14-- 69 kg. Some cookies and chips came ..... into my possession. "Them that asks no question, isn't told a lie. Watch the wall, my darling, while the chocolate cake goes by." So I just ate the treats (about 800 calories) and nothing else.

    Week 2 Goal: 69 kg.
    Week 2 actual weight: 69 kg. So no net loss or gain this week, but still on target.


    Day 15-01/15-- 68.8 kg. I want to knit a sweater for myself and I'm in a dither over what size to make. I know I'm 2 dress sizes smaller than I was, but I need my actual measurements. And then I need to work out how big the completed sweater will be and how much ease I want - I don't want "sweater girl" negative ease, but I don't want baggy oversize either, since I still have a little more weight to lose.

    Day 16-01/16 69.8 kg. I found a big jar of mayo at the back of the fridge......I would have taken it to the food pantry, but it was already open....spent the evening gorging on mayo and cucumber sandwiches. No, I regret nothing.--

    Day 17-01/17-- 70 kg .....Well, the rest of the mayo is gone - I hate to waste food, but, yes, it went down the sink - and the fiber in all the wholewheat bread has worked, so here's to a drop on the scale tomorrow.

    Day 18-01/18-- 69 kg. Hopefully back on track.

    Day 19-01/19-- 70 kg. Is it the scale or is it me not being super careful over tracking? I am perflummoxedcombobulated! Maybe my body is telling me it's happy at current weight and doesn't want to go lower?

    Day 20-01/20-- 70 kg.

    Day 21-01/21-- 69 kg. Weather has been super hot and I think I may have eaten something that's gone a bit off - been feeling unwell for the last 24 hours.

    Week 3 Goal: 68.5 kg.
    Week 3 actual weight: 69 kg. As Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."

    Day 22-01/22-- 68.5 kg.

    Day 23-01/23-- 68.7 kg.

    Day 24-01/24-- 68.4 kg. I was given a fruit cake today - a whole 500 grams (over a pound). I try very hard not to buy sweets and baked goods or keep them in the house, but free food is fair game..... I ate it all in 2 hours ..... I'm thinking with Lent approaching I need to give it up completely - at least for long enough for my taste to change.

    Day 25-01/25-- 68 kg.

    Day 26-01/26-- 67.9 kg.

    Day 27-01/27-- DNW

    Day 28-01/28-- 68 kg. Made it!

    Week 4 Goal: 68.5 kg.
    Week 4 actual weight: 68 kg. 4 weeks, 2 kg down.

    I’m Teri
    Age 60, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 144.3 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbs
    Mission for this challenge: Avoid refined sugar and keep meals low carb, IF 16:8, exercise at least 4 times per week, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, keep up with vitamin supplements. Simple right? ;);)

    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 06-01/06 - 143.9 Enjoyed my pasta for sure.
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 10 min core, 20 min lower body, 20 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 [√]
    exercise: 20 pilates, 30 min cycling

    Week 1 Goal: 143.3
    Week 1 actual weight: 143.5
    Challenge 18 results to-date .8 lb loss


    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.
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [ ] enough water [ ]

    Day 09-01/09 – 143.6
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]

    Day 10-01/10 – 142.9

    exercise:

    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.
    Yesterday: [ ] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 10 min core, 30 min upper body, 40 min cycling

    Day 13-01/13 – 144.5 Another increase on the scale. Stumped. Inflammation & bloating have definitely decreased tho. Looks like I won’t be reaching my goal weight for tomorrow.
    Yesterday: [ ] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 10 min core, 20 lower body strength, 20 min cycling at a leisurely pace

    Day 14-01/14 – 143.9
    Yesterday: [ ] IF 12-16:8 hours [ ] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [ ]

    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.

    I’m Teri
    Age 60, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 144.3 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbs
    Mission for this challenge: Avoid refined sugar and keep meals low carb, IF 16:8, exercise at least 4 times per week, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, keep up with vitamin supplements. Simple right? ;);)

    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 06-01/06 - 143.9 Enjoyed my pasta for sure.
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 10 min core, 20 min lower body, 20 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 [√]
    exercise: 20 pilates, 30 min cycling

    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.

    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.
    Yesterday: [ ] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 10 min core, 30 min upper body, 40 min cycling

    Day 13-01/13 – 144.5 Another increase on the scale. Stumped. Inflammation & bloating have definitely decreased tho. Looks like I won’t be reaching my goal weight for tomorrow.

    I have not been back to the gym yet, but I did get in some walking at the mall today and I’ve been trying to meet my step goal through other means to compensate. I also haven’t had a single day all week where I met my fruit and veggie goals 😔. Starting tonight, I’m going to go back to packing my lunch for work so I can try and make that happen. I hope everyone is doing well! We’re almost a third of the way through the challenge and we’re all still here, so that’s definitely something to be proud of! Happy Monday everyone!
