Week 6 actual weight:
Starting this week with a big drop, but looking at the pattern. I was a little worried that I was losing too quickly (not eating enough calories) and I'm still trying to fine-tune that balance. Eating whole grains, lots of veggies and some fruit every day, good protein and healthy fats for the most part (limiting cheese and using olive oil, little butter). The numbers look good on paper so not sure what I need to adjust yet. I saw a registered nutritionist last week and am tracking for health as well as loss.2 -
Start 83kg
Challenge sw 82kg
Week 1 80.8kg
Week 2 80.3kg
Week 3 79.4kg
Week 4 78.9kg
Week 5 78.1kg
Day 36-02/05--78.0kg I'm tetter totting again. I have a feeling my weight loss is more stepped than linear, a drop then plateau, then another drop. That's fine all in the right direction.
Started a 30 day beginner resistance band challenge today .1/30 unsure if to complete it again with stronger bands or mice up to the intermediate with the same strength. Guess I'll see. It was nice to move though. They pack away easily so good to take when away from home.

If you download the ticker factory app for your phone, you can just click on the ticker in the app and then click “edit” and then “edit settings”.
I don't do it from my phone, but from my laptop. Yours is much bigger, I like it better : - )
Thanks! I figured out that if you click share and then save the ticker as a photo, it saves a larger version of it. Then you just insert the photo in your post and it’s easier to see.
Dang. She "share" button didn't do anything at all, it didn't seem clickable. I was able to at least click and copy image instead of inserting the BB code.
There used to be one on MFP that was pretty simple to use, but they took that away on one of the updates.
The tickers are fun : - )3 -

Hi Donna,
I’m a nurse that works with patients under the care of a registered dietitian and we care for patients with diabetes very often. The rule of thumb is that in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease, protein should be limited to 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. For someone who weighs 181#, that would be about 65 grams per day. If someone has advanced kidney disease, they sometimes even limit it to 0.6g/kg/day. This is because protein damages the glomeruli in the kidneys and causes rapid progression of pre-existing kidney failure. If a patient is diabetic but does not have chronic kidney disease (GFR> 60) or nephrotic syndrome, we will usually increase this to about 1g/kg/day (which for someone who is 181# would be about 82 grams a day).
In my experience, people seek protein because it has the best ability to help you feel full with the fewest calories and also because they want to use it to build muscle. Realistically though, sometimes people go way overboard with it and take in too much protein which can lead to issues of their own even without any preexisting health conditions. It’s becoming very gimmicky to go nuts on protein when it’s realistically just part of a healthy balanced diet. Hopefully that helps! Good luck!
Note: this is not medical advice, I am not a doctor, an RD, or working in the capacity as your nurse. This is just my personal experience caring for these patients and the guidelines we use (read: please don’t sue me. Consult a dietitian or a doctor). 😂
@Fooshki Thanks so much for sharing your experience. No, I am no sue happy and I don't consider this advice that replaces what my doctor would recommend so no worries. I must ask this while I await the doctor appointment, my blood work for eGFR came up with a value of >60 and I am wondering if that typically would indicate a problem? It seems so borderline to me. Would we typically see a number much further away from the number 60 in most healthy people? Thanks for sharing your experience in this.1 -

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 34-02/03-182.6-(Trend weight 182.8)
Day 35-02/04-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I was awoken this morning by a surprise visitor so I didn’t remember to take my scale into the bathroom to weigh. It is likely that the scale is up due to the homemade chicken noodle soup and fluid retention from yesterday. It usually happens after I make that pasta-rich soup. I had more for lunch today since I had plenty to offer my visitor. I’ve been pushing water all day which I may also retain temporarily but is much needed to flush away the sodium eventually. I will have to use tomorrow’s weight for my week end stat. I hope you all have been enjoying your Sunday wherever you are. Here in northern Michigan it hit the upper 40’s and was sunny and unusually warm and wonderful for an early February!
WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.0 lbs Gained
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.8 lbs Gained
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 36-02/05-184.6-(Trend weight 183.2) This has been a horrible last few days with me really going out on a rail. I made homemade chicken noodle soup to last a few days. I really didn’t need that pasta that was in it. I was totally triggered for carbs and more carbs which is pretty dangerous for my diabetes and doesn’t help my weight since diabetics tend to store it as belly fat. I know what I have to do but doing it is the hard part. But there is one thing harder, and that’s doing it consistently. Win some, lose some. Right now I’m losing lots of some.

I am doing an all-inclusive this time around, in Cancun.
My very old friend is having his 60th birthday. He is a golfer and there are 15 courses around there. He is flying from Victoria, and me from Cranbrook, but we both connect in Calgary so will be on the same plane and can share the transport to the resort.
It will be nice that I don't have to mix the cocktails, and he won't have to cook all the meals. That is normally how it goes with us.
The resort that we are going to isn't expensive, but has everything that I like: a la carte restaurants, Zumba, Salsa dancing, nightly entertainment etc.
Of course I have Googled like crazy and will likely be doing that every morning until we leave : - )
The planning is the funnest part for me. I hope to lay by the pool and read books, eat lots and drink lots of fancy cocktails.
@dawnbgethealthy - Sounds like a great trip to me! I love reading and being pampered. Fun that you'll have someone mixing the cocktails ... and I remember this friend you get with that likes to cook ... great way for him to discover new ideas. Enjoy!4 -

What is on my mind: As a diabetic I want to protect my kidneys (protein is tough on them). However, as an older person over 60 and someone trying to lose weight, I want to protect my muscle.
When I google my recommended protein intake, all the calculators and manual mathematical calculations put me at about 65 or 66 grams per day. That seems low to me and so very easy to reach. And yet I read all the posts on so many challenges where people are eating protein bars, drinking protein shakes etc. trying to reach their goals. I'm confused. Even Harvard Medical School is recommending 65 gr per my weight.
I would love it if those of you that have time will chime in on this for me. I'm looking for your opinions as well as your knowledge and/or experience with it. I need to know if I should tweak my macros. Right now I have mine set for 25% which gives me grams that are often much higher than the recommendations.
Thanks for any help you guys can give. I am posting this on a couple of my challenges and look forward to any and all responses.
Donna
@deepwoodslady - I have no idea how much protein I need but I do know that when I use it as a snack it holds me over better than anything else.
Also my sister before and after knee replacement surgery (age 60) was told that she needs 80 grams per day for her muscles.
Not really 2 cents! Good luck with your search for the right balance for yourself.3 -
Lily, Age 63, 5’3”
Challenge Starting Weight: 230.3 (2/1/2024)
Challenge Goal: <220
Tracking: PT knee exercises, 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
Totally skipped the first 31 days!!
Day 32: 02/01 - 230.3 - First things first. Need to get back under 230! J, A 80, V, B 15. Under 200 carbs but definitely not meeting my goal of under 100!
Day 33: 02/02 - 230.0 - J, A 32, V, B 20, PT. Decided to gradually up my time on the bike. When starting PT in Nov they only let me do 10 min for the 6 weeks. I started 15 min in Jan. Today 20. Hoping to get back up to 45 before the trip if my knee continues to improve. Though it was really swollen after today’s PT at home. I need to pick up my anti inflammatory pills at the pharmacy which I’ve not taken this past week.
Day 34: 02/03 - DNW - Bike 20 that is about it!
Day 35: 02/04 - 231.5 - Lots of King cake this weekend.
Week 5 Goal: < 230
Week 5 actual weight:
Day 36: 02/05 - 230.7 - Started my strong & fit class again but limiting activities during the 1hr session so that I’m not damaging my knees. Focusing on arms, shoulders, and core. Bike 20 min.

Hi! I’m Jeanne!

@deepwoodslady - I have no idea how much protein I need but I do know that when I use it as a snack it holds me over better than anything else.
Also my sister before and after knee replacement surgery (age 60) was told that she needs 80 grams per day for her muscles.
Not really 2 cents! Good luck with your search for the right balance for yourself.
@Lilylady3k 80 grams makes sense to me. Someone on another challenge passed along a formula which shows both the lower and the upper range and 80 fits within those perimeters. I saw on a recommended article that older folks (over 50 or 60 I don't remember) need more than someone younger. I agree about protein sticking to the ribs for much longer. I don't think I use protein enough in my snacks. I'll have to come up with some ideas that don't bombard me with too many carbs. My blood glucose numbers have been doing much better and I don't want to rock that boat. Thanks for the info!5 -

SUMMARY FIRST 100 DAYS of 2024: (celebrate good times!)6 -
Start 83kg
Challenge sw 82kg
Week 1 80.8kg
Week 2 80.3kg
Week 3 79.4kg
Week 4 78.9kg
Week 5 78.1kg
Day 36-02/05--78.0kg I'm tetter totting again. I have a feeling my weight loss is more stepped than linear, a drop then plateau, then another drop. That's fine all in the right direction.
Started a 30 day beginner resistance band challenge today .1/30 unsure if to complete it again with stronger bands or mice up to the intermediate with the same strength. Guess I'll see. It was nice to move though. They pack away easily so good to take when away from home.
Day 37-02/06--77.8kg woke up feeling good, hopefully the weight loss is improving my sleep quality?

A normal GFR is usually around ≥ 90, but a lot of labs use GFR ≥ 60 as a normal range because GFR naturally decreases with age and a value of 60-89 is usually only considered mild impairment. A nephrologist (or primary care doctor) would usually look at several factors before deciding to diagnose chronic kidney disease. They also usually will recheck GFR again before making that determination because you have to have a level consistently below 60 for at least 3 months. I mentioned GFR ≥ 60 because that’s the number we use for dietary modifications (since below 60 is considered moderate kidney disease with <60% kidney function).deepwoodslady wrote: »Hi Donna,
I’m a nurse that works with patients under the care of a registered dietitian and we care for patients with diabetes very often. The rule of thumb is that in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease, protein should be limited to 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. For someone who weighs 181#, that would be about 65 grams per day. If someone has advanced kidney disease, they sometimes even limit it to 0.6g/kg/day. This is because protein damages the glomeruli in the kidneys and causes rapid progression of pre-existing kidney failure. If a patient is diabetic but does not have chronic kidney disease (GFR> 60) or nephrotic syndrome, we will usually increase this to about 1g/kg/day (which for someone who is 181# would be about 82 grams a day).
In my experience, people seek protein because it has the best ability to help you feel full with the fewest calories and also because they want to use it to build muscle. Realistically though, sometimes people go way overboard with it and take in too much protein which can lead to issues of their own even without any preexisting health conditions. It’s becoming very gimmicky to go nuts on protein when it’s realistically just part of a healthy balanced diet. Hopefully that helps! Good luck!
Note: this is not medical advice, I am not a doctor, an RD, or working in the capacity as your nurse. This is just my personal experience caring for these patients and the guidelines we use (read: please don’t sue me. Consult a dietitian or a doctor). 😂
@Fooshki Thanks so much for sharing your experience. No, I am no sue happy and I don't consider this advice that replaces what my doctor would recommend so no worries. I must ask this while I await the doctor appointment, my blood work for eGFR came up with a value of >60 and I am wondering if that typically would indicate a problem? It seems so borderline to me. Would we typically see a number much further away from the number 60 in most healthy people? Thanks for sharing your experience in this.3 -
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 over celebrating 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.
Day 29-01/29-- 69 kg. Note to self - do not celebrate weight loss with toasted cheese.
Day 30-01/30-- 70 kg. Another note to self - just because fruit mince tarts are reduced price after Christmas, doesn't mean there are less calories. You're not "saving" money, either - you're spending it!
Day 31-01/31-- 69.8 kg.
Day 32-02/01-- 69 kg. Easy come, easy go.
Day 33-02/02-- 68.8 kg.
Day 34-02/03-- 69.8 kg. What witchcraft hath possessed my scale? Oh right - I'm the one polishing off the goodies before Lent.
Day 35-02/04-- 69 kg.
Week 5 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 5 actual weight: 69 kg. Only 1 kg lost in 5 weeks? Need to keep my eye on the ball.
Day 36-02/05-- 68.8 kg. 64 days to lose 3.8 kg - around 60 grams per day.
Day 37-02/06-- 68.5 kg. I am the only person who controls what goes into my mouth.

A normal GFR is usually around ≥ 90, but a lot of labs use GFR ≥ 60 as a normal range because GFR naturally decreases with age and a value of 60-89 is usually only considered mild impairment. A nephrologist (or primary care doctor) would usually look at several factors before deciding to diagnose chronic kidney disease. They also usually will recheck GFR again before making that determination because you have to have a level consistently below 60 for at least 3 months. I mentioned GFR ≥ 60 because that’s the number we use for dietary modifications (since below 60 is considered moderate kidney disease with <60% kidney function).deepwoodslady wrote: »Hi Donna,
I’m a nurse that works with patients under the care of a registered dietitian and we care for patients with diabetes very often. The rule of thumb is that in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease, protein should be limited to 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. For someone who weighs 181#, that would be about 65 grams per day. If someone has advanced kidney disease, they sometimes even limit it to 0.6g/kg/day. This is because protein damages the glomeruli in the kidneys and causes rapid progression of pre-existing kidney failure. If a patient is diabetic but does not have chronic kidney disease (GFR> 60) or nephrotic syndrome, we will usually increase this to about 1g/kg/day (which for someone who is 181# would be about 82 grams a day).
In my experience, people seek protein because it has the best ability to help you feel full with the fewest calories and also because they want to use it to build muscle. Realistically though, sometimes people go way overboard with it and take in too much protein which can lead to issues of their own even without any preexisting health conditions. It’s becoming very gimmicky to go nuts on protein when it’s realistically just part of a healthy balanced diet. Hopefully that helps! Good luck!
Note: this is not medical advice, I am not a doctor, an RD, or working in the capacity as your nurse. This is just my personal experience caring for these patients and the guidelines we use (read: please don’t sue me. Consult a dietitian or a doctor). 😂
@Fooshki Thanks so much for sharing your experience. No, I am no sue happy and I don't consider this advice that replaces what my doctor would recommend so no worries. I must ask this while I await the doctor appointment, my blood work for eGFR came up with a value of >60 and I am wondering if that typically would indicate a problem? It seems so borderline to me. Would we typically see a number much further away from the number 60 in most healthy people? Thanks for sharing your experience in this.
@fooshki @deepwoodslady
I'm not a medical professional at all but an avid reader. Really interesting insight especially in the spoiler section @fooshki Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this conversation! I've never really paid attention to GFR on my lab work and now I'm adding it into my mix to monitor ... since of course one risk factor is obesity which I have in spades. I really like being able to understand lab reports and monitor year over year my results.
My last lab test points me to a calculator for eGFR and mentions something about changes in calculation. So definitely check with your doctor.
- The eGFR is based on the CKD-EPI 2021 equation. To calculate
- the new eGFR from a previous Creatinine or Cystatin C
- result, go to https://www.kidney.org/professionals/
- kdoqi/gfr%5Fcalculator
Looking at the notes I found.
* eGFR of 90 or higher is in the normal range
* eGFR of 60 -89 may mean early-stage kidney disease
* eGFR of 15 -59 may mean kidney disease
* eGFR below 15 may mean kidney failure
@deepwoodslady - Are you seeing significant changes from year to year or in recent testing?
I saw a huge swing in my number over the years when I went back to the lab results.

Lily, Age 63, 5’3”
Challenge Starting Weight: 230.3 (2/1/2024)
Challenge Goal: <220
Tracking: PT knee exercises, 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
Totally skipped the first 31 days!!
Day 32: 02/01 - 230.3 - First things first. Need to get back under 230! J, A 80, V, B 15. Under 200 carbs but definitely not meeting my goal of under 100!
Day 33: 02/02 - 230.0 - J, A 32, V, B 20, PT. Decided to gradually up my time on the bike. When starting PT in Nov they only let me do 10 min for the 6 weeks. I started 15 min in Jan. Today 20. Hoping to get back up to 45 before the trip if my knee continues to improve. Though it was really swollen after today’s PT at home. I need to pick up my anti inflammatory pills at the pharmacy which I’ve not taken this past week.
Day 34: 02/03 - DNW - Bike 20 that is about it!
Day 35: 02/04 - 231.5 - Lots of King cake this weekend.
Week 5 Goal: < 230
Week 5 actual weight:
Day 36: 02/05 - 230.7 - Started my strong & fit class again but limiting activities during the 1hr session so that I’m not damaging my knees. Focusing on arms, shoulders, and core. Bike 20 min.
Day 37: 02/06 - 232.5 - Eating 3 slices of pizza was stupid. There I said it! Why oh why can't I get on board to planning and journaling my food?
Yesterday I worked on cleaning out the pants in my closet. What I noticed is that I no longer have any size 20 which is good. I must have thrown those out. I'm wearing an 18W which I'm not so happy about but I tried on all my pants and capris ... many that are 18 not 18W are tight and I would not wear in public. So my first order of business is to get where those are comfortable. Then tackle getting back into the size 16. THEN order new ones in a lower size which I also have but they are tucked away in a cabinet and not in my closet. This seems like a reasonable goal for the year ... why am I putting it off and continuing to go off the rails with my plan? Hitting myself in the head ... I need to focus and follow through ... that is my only plan for today. Just to do it. Eat healthy ... nothing more ... nothing less.

I think that I need anti-inflammatory pills too, but I can't take anything that is Aspirin based. What do you take?
And yes, bite the bullet and track track track.2 -

I like what you said about how it is you and only you that control what you put in your mouth.
We all need to limit putting garbage into our mouths. We wouldn't eat garbage out of the waste bin, so why do we eat garbage packaged up for us?3 -

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 36-02/05-184.6-(Trend weight 183.2) This has been a horrible last few days with me really going out on a rail. I made homemade chicken noodle soup to last a few days. I really didn’t need that pasta that was in it. I was totally triggered for carbs and more carbs which is pretty dangerous for my diabetes and doesn’t help my weight since diabetics tend to store it as belly fat. I know what I have to do but doing it is the hard part. But there is one thing harder, and that’s doing it consistently. Win some, lose some. Right now I’m losing lots of some.
Day 37-02/06-183.0-(Trend weight 183.2) A nice little whoosh as I shed all the sodium from the soup from the last couple of days. Today the rest goes in the freezer pre-portioned. I’m waiting for my handyman/contractor to get here. We are going to discuss our next project.
